And, this year, it doesn\u2019t sound like we\u2019re going to get off easy. Last year the grass barely had time to turn brown before summer was back. But, according to the weatherman, we\u2019re going get hit hard this year. Anyone who remembers the winter of 2014 is already preparing for the mountains of snow, the icy roads and the subzero temperatures. However, if you\u2019ve recently purchased a new wheelchair van, you could likely benefit from a few pieces of advice. In this post, we\u2019re going to give you three helpful tips that will keep you \u2013 and your family \u2013 safe on the roads this winter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal tm5\"><strong><span class=\"tm7\">Always have a backup plan<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal tm5\"><span class=\"tm6\">Before you go out, always tell a friend or family member when you\u2019re leaving and where you\u2019re going. In the event that something happens, they\u2019ll be able to come to your rescue or, if necessary, call somebody that can give you some assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal tm5\"><strong><span class=\"tm7\">Get your repairs done now<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal tm5\"><span class=\"tm6\">Before the hard weather hits, take your van to the shop for maintenance. Check the oil, the tires and the brakes, at least, so that you know \u2013 when the roads get bad \u2013 that you can depend on your vehicle to function properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal tm5\"><strong><span class=\"tm7\">Clear the way<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal tm5\"><span class=\"tm6\">Familiarity breeds comfort and, in icy conditions, comfort is dangerous. Before pulling out of your driveway, ensure that all directions are visible and, more importantly, that you\u2019re able to get good, consistent traction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal tm8\"><span class=\"tm6\">At <a href=\"https:\/\/c1mdevsite.com\/clockmobilitydev.com\/\">Clock Mobility<\/a>, we carry a range of the best\u00a0<\/span><u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clockmobility.com\/vehicle-info\/mini-vans\"><span class=\"tm9\">wheelchair vans<\/span><\/a><\/u><span class=\"tm6\">\u00a0available.
