Winter driving tips for most U.S. states would focus on safe motoring on snow and ice. And yes, in California, there might be some of that, depending on your destination. Learning how to prepare for a road trip in California takes common sense \u2013 and, above all, good, cheap car insurance<\/a> so you\u2019ll be protected if something happens while on your trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s why we\u2019ve prepared this useful guide for winter holiday drivers. Check out these six steps you should always take before motoring to any point in this vast state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As we said, California is big. You can go downhill skiing in the mountains, visit hot or cold deserts, or walk on white-sand beaches. Bottom line, the topography, and weather can get very \u2026 different<\/em> \u2026 quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, if you live in San Diego and you\u2019re visiting friends near the Oregon border, you\u2019ll want to pack differently than if you\u2019re visiting family elsewhere in Southern California. That geographic variation can affect driving conditions, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve never driven on ice in your life, you don\u2019t want to have to do so at 60 miles an hour. Smog \u2013 or fog – might be another driving threat in some parts of California. Heavy rains can sometimes be a challenge, too. Always know what you\u2019ve got ahead of you weatherwise before you pack the family and head down the road in the Golden State. <\/p>\n\n\n\nConsider local weather conditions. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Stay out of traffic (if you can). <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
