Spring Driving Safety Tips

Slow down and increase your following distance when rain or mist begins to fall. Even a small amount of water can mix with oil and grease on the road to create slippery conditions.

Use your low beam headlights in fog. High beams reflect water vapor (fog) and make it harder to see. Low beams are the law in any event if your visibility is limited to 500 feet or there is precipitation.

If you are driving in rain or fog that totally impairs visibility, pull off the road as far as possible and turn on your hazard lights.

To keep the inside of your windshield clear of moisture, turn on your fan and defroster and the air conditioner may work wonders as well.

Allow extra following distance ¬a car needs two to ten times more distance to stop on a wet road than on dry pavement.

Avoid driving through large puddles ¬ the splashing water may affect your brakes, cause your car to swerve, and impair the vision of other motorists.

Keep an eye out for pedestrians, who may be less alert to traffic in the rain and fog, and more difficult for you to see.
