- Turning on your low-beam headlights during the daytime in the winter months and during low natural light conditions can help make your vehicle more visible.
- Keep your car headlights clean and bright by getting in the habit of wiping off your lights when refueling.
- Always check your oil when your vehicle engine is cold and antifreeze when your engine is hot for the most accurate readings.
- Keep a roadside emergency kit (buy on Amazon.com paid link)
- Make sure the tires on your vehicle are properly inflated by testing them regularly with a tire gauge.
- Bridges and overpasses are the most dangerous parts of the road in the winter because they are the first to freeze and the last to thaw.
- Call the corresponding public lands office if traveling to destinations located in National Forests or BLM public land.
- Let someone know where you are going and when you expect to return. There are still many places in Oregon without cell phone service.
- During Summer and early Fall, check the latest wildfire information to see if fires have impacted your route or access to your destination.
