HANOVER, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fog in the morning, steady rainfalls and gradual falling temperatures: When the wet and cold season sets for driver’s concentration is a specific challenge. Yet accustomed to summer road conditions, many underestimate the dangers posed by wet weather or damp leaves. An involuntary glissade, for example after braking, can happen faster than expected and may even cause injuries to both, the vehicle and the car passenger. A forward-looking, defensive driving is now paying off particularly.
Change to winter tyres
Especially in autumn the risk of accidents are high. Philip von Grolman of ReifenDirekt knows that as well and says: “Many motorists need a transition phase to sharpen their senses again for the dangers of the colder season." The vehicle should be refitted for autumn and winter equally at an early stage. A light check, which is offered in many workshops, is now a meaningful action and also the changeover to winter tyres should not be postponed, Philip von Grolman underlines: “The first frosty night often come as a surprise. Even with outside temperatures of seven degrees Celsius and less, winter tyres offer more grip than summer tyres and thus increase the motorists’ security."
Pay attention to tread depths
Thus, winter tyres serve their purpose, it depends on their perfect condition: Although the law requires a remaining tread depth of 1,6 millimeters, it is recommended however to replace winter tyres before the tread depths of 4 millimeters is reached.

Appropriate clothing and hot drinks should always be brought along especially when children are on board. Also the emergency kit - from warning triangle to the first aid kit - must be complete. Important to know for an event of a breakdown: Since 1 July 2014, the safety vest is also mandatory in Germany. Those who feel attracted to open the winter sports season in a neighboring Alps region should carry snow chains along. Depending on the weather, its use is required on some roads, such as Austria, Italy, France and Switzerland.
