Dealing With the Elements
The term "joy ride" does not apply when it's pouring and the wind is gusting. The best strategy for driving in bad weather is to avoid it. But if going out is necessary or you get caught in bad conditions once you're already on the road, follow these safe driving tips:
Make sure your headlights are on. Many states require drivers to keep their headlights on if windshield wipers are on.
Increase your following distance — if you're going slowly because of bad weather, is there really any point to being only 2 feet behind the car in front of you?
Slow down. Braking takes longer on slippery roads — the slower you go, the easier it will be for you to recognize potential hazards and control, slow, and stop your vehicle.
Make sure your car is prepared for the conditions (check your battery, windshield wipers and washer fluid, tires, antifreeze, and headlights).
Use caution near intersections. Never assume that because you have the green light or the right of way that the intersection will be clear — keep your head and eyes moving in search of potential hazards.
Stay in one lane as much as possible — avoid unnecessary lane changes (don't go zipping in and out of traffic, passing people, etc.).
Keep two hands on the wheel, two eyes on the road, and your mind focused on driving at all times.
