Having the right auto insurance coverage is of paramount importance all year round, of course, but there&#8217;s no question winter brings some of the most hazardous driving conditions in the Cloquet area, so you definitely want to be adequately protected by your policy. That&#8217;s where we can help here at Brittany Olson Insurance Agency LLC.<\/p>\n<h2>Winter Driving Hazards in the Cloquet, MN Area<\/h2>\n<p>We don&#8217;t have to tell you that Old Man Winter can be heavy-hitting in the Cloquet area. After all, the town lies on the southern fringe of the snowiest part of Minnesota: the far northeast, including the North Shore Highland. We see an average of just north of 70 inches of the white stuff every year. And, meanwhile, below-freezing average daily high temperatures are the norm December through February.<\/p>\n<p>Winter driving hazards include the obvious traction nightmares of slippery snow and ice, including dreaded, near-invisible black ice as well as the glaze that freezing rain can produce. Thick-falling or even simply wind-blown snow can also bring visibility down to next to nothing, heightening the risk of collisions, getting stuck, or going off the road.<\/p>\n<h2>Winter Driving &amp; Auto Insurance<\/h2>\n<p>From the bare-minimum liability insurance required by Minnesota state law to collision and comprehensive coverages, it&#8217;s important to protect yourself as fully as possible with a well-chosen auto insurance policy.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, too, that a safe-driving record maximizes your probability of landing an optimal insurance policy. Be a cautious driver in wintertime, maintaining a greater stopping distance behind vehicles in front of you to account for the trickiness of icy, wet, or snow-covered road surfaces. Make sure your headlights are kept clear of snow to improve the visibility of your vehicle. And slow down when roads are slippery and\/or snowfall is occurring.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Brittany Olson Insurance Agency LLC, we&#8217;re proud to serve customers throughout the Cloquet, MN area with top-quality auto insurance.
