 Did You Know?
Driving in dicey weather conditions can be nerve-wracking. It is important to know how to modify your driving during rain, tornadoes, snow and fog. This will help you stay calm during your commute.
Rain and Thunderstorms
-
Drive in the tracks of the vehicle ahead of you and drive slow.
-
Allow for increased space between your vehicle and the one in front of you.
-
If you hydroplane, hold the steering wheel straight and remove your foot from the gas.
Tornadoes:
Snow, Sleet and Freezing Rain
-
Clean ice and snow off your windows, hood and trunk before departing.
-
Drive with extreme caution and at reduced speeds.
-
Do not brake quickly as you may spin out of control.
Fog
-
Slow down before you reach a patch of fog in front of you.
-
Use only your low beams or fog lights and put on your defroster and wipers to increase visibility.
-
If the fog is extremely thick, roll down all of your windows to hear other vehicles around you.
Safety First
It is very important that you allow extra room between your vehicle and the one in front of you when driving in snow. While driving you will need three to 12 times the amount of stopping distance that you normally need without any precipitation.
