Relevant background: "If you must drive during a storm, take the following precautions:

  • Slow down! Even if the roads just look wet they could still be slick. More than 5,000 fatalities occur on the roadways each year due to weather conditions.
  • Make sure your vehicle is completely clear of ice or snow before starting the trip. Flying snow from cars causes accidents.
  • Let someone know where you are going and what route you will take. If something happens, this person will know where to start a search.
  • Don't leave the house without the following a fully charged mobile phone, car charger and an emergency supplies kit in your car.
  • If you are driving and begin to skid, remain calm, ease your foot off the gas and turn your wheels in the direction you want the front of the car to go. If you have an anti-lock braking system (ABS), apply steady pressure to the brake pedal. Never pump the brakes on an ABS equipped vehicle.
  • If you are having trouble seeing due to weather conditions, pull over to the side of the road and stop your car until visibility improves. Turn off your lights and use your parking break when stopped so that another car won't mistakenly follow your tail/brake lights and end up hitting you.

If your car gets stuck during a storm:

  • Stay in the vehicle!
    • If you leave your vehicle, you will become disoriented quickly in wind-driven snow and cold.
    • Run the motor about 10 minutes each hour for heat.
    • While running the motor, open the window a little for fresh air to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
    • Clear snow from the exhaust pipe to avoid gas poisoning.
  • Be visible to rescuers.

Relevant Background: ."Automotive upholstery — both leather and fabric — is damaged from trauma and everyday use....Water damage comes in two forms: staining from rain and other elements and staining from food and drink. One of the most common causes of elemental staining is rain coming through the windows or sunroof. Make sure to always close and lock all windows and sunroofs every time you leave your car.

Preventing stains from food and drink centers on taking a proactive approach when something does spill. You need to clean up any food or drink spills immediately, as this will reduce the risk of forming a permanent stain. Using leather or fabric-safe cleaning solution will also go a long way toward preventing a lasting stain....." (The Most Common Causes of Automotive Upholstery Damage (peruzzicollisioncenter.com))
