What should you do during adverse weather conditions?

During adverse weather conditions, it is essential to reduce speed and increase following distance to ensure safety on the road. Adverse conditions such as rain, fog, snow, or ice can significantly impact vehicle control and stopping distance. By reducing speed, you give yourself more time to react to potential hazards, such as other vehicles suddenly braking or obstacles in the roadway.

Additionally, increasing your following distance gives you a larger cushion of safety, enabling you to react safely if the vehicle in front of you encounters a problem. This is particularly crucial in slippery conditions where vehicles can skid or lose traction. Maintaining a slower pace and a greater distance from other vehicles helps to minimize the risk of accidents during these challenging conditions, ensuring a safer driving experience for you and others on the road.
