Winter car accessories worth having before the frosts arrive

Winter is undoubtedly a time that puts a lot of strain on cars. For this reason, it's worth stocking up on essential accessories to avoid being caught off guard. The mere presence of some of these accessories is crucial to ensuring that cold temperatures don't prevent you from traveling by car. Furthermore, it's also worth mentioning a few essential accessories that are essential regardless of the season.

Snow chains, a solution that increases road safety!

Despite the fact that fewer and fewer people are investing in snow chains, having them can save us in difficult situations. This is because good snow chains help increase tire traction on snowy or icy surfaces. This helps avoid uncontrolled driving situations. Of course, for snow chains to be effective, they must be properly adjusted to the tire size and vehicle weight, but they are still a solution, ideal for icy and snow-covered roads.

Naturally, many people might argue that buying snow chains is unnecessary, as they're rarely needed these days. However, having a set of snow chains is an investment that, despite infrequent use, ensures safety while traveling. The cost of snow chains themselves isn't high, with the cheapest ones costing under 150 PLN. This makes equipping yourself with Ö-Norm 9mm snow chains + BAG KNS-50 AMIO-02314 a much better option than taking risks while driving in inclement weather.

Accessories that help with frozen and frosted windows

The cold season also brings problems with frost and icing on windows. The most basic solution to combating this problem is, of course, a winter accessory , such as a windshield scraper. Despite their low price, many people turn to other accessories. These aid in scraping windows, however, they involve damaging the glass by scratching it. That's why a well-adapted ice scraper is a solution. It's definitely worth choosing to ensure the longevity of your windshield. Scratched windshields negatively impact driving performance, thanks to light reflections.

It's worth noting that most ice scrapers these days are equipped with a water squeegee. This means that a single product can be used in many situations. The squeegee itself is ideal for winter, as water in the air condenses and settles on the windshield, reducing visibility. Therefore, using a multi-purpose ice scraper can solve several driving problems. Furthermore, it can improve driving comfort.

While we're on the subject of ice scrapers, it's worth mentioning the legal consequences of not properly clearing snow from your car. Many people forget this, but a frozen windshield, as well as an unscathed car, can result in a fine from the police. This is why it's worth clearing your car of snow, as it only takes a few minutes. And the fine for not doing so is significantly higher. It's worth noting that when clearing snow, don't forget your license plate, as failure to clear it can also lead to a fine. Of course, legal consequences aren't the only reason to clear snow, as its presence effectively reduces your field of vision.

Winter accessories for your car and its must-have equipment!

Although winter accessories aren't required under Polish law, it's worth having them on hand, as their absence could result in a fine. It's worth mentioning, however, the items that are legally required. Mandatory car equipment includes, of course, a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle. Failure to do so will result in a fine or, if the police officer is so kind, a warning. Returning to the topic of snowy weather, winter accessories worth having include shovels and snow brushes, which, like ice scrapers, help remove white dust.

A properly selected brush helps quickly remove snow, making snow removal almost instantaneous. Furthermore, solutions like the Aspen BS4 75 cm Snow and Ice Brush, Brush, and Ice Scraper combine several items, creating a perfect winter product. These winter accessories are made of durable plastic, reducing the risk of damaging the ice scraper while removing ice from the windshield. Furthermore, the included brush is made of flexible bristles, preventing scratching the car's body and windshield while removing any debris.
