Driving Safe in Bad Weather

Weather is unpredictable, and even when your weather app says it’s going to be a nice day is not a guarantee that it will be. No matter what vehicle you are driving whether it be a car, semi, large truck, or boat it is smart to make sure you know how to drive safely in bad weather.

Here are some things you can do to lower your risk of being in an auto accident. 

• Plan ahead– Giving yourself extra time to get where you need to go can help prevent speeding and dangerous driving on your behalf. 
• Check your windshield wipers– If you know there will be bad weather while you are driving be sure to check your windshield wipers before you leave to ensure they are working correctly. 
• Use your seatbelt– You should always be wearing your seatbelt when you drive but especially when the roads are particularly slippery. 
• Keep both hands on the steering wheel– While driving in poor weather conditions be sure to keep both your hands on the wheel and your attention on the road. 
• Pull over– There is no shame in pulling over if you do not feel safe driving, even if you are almost to your destination. It is better to pull off the side of the road than being involved in an auto accident. 
• Refrain from driving next to large and small vehicles– If you are driving a large vehicle try to stay away from smaller vehicles to prevent more injuries in case an accident does occur. If you are driving a smaller vehicle, try to stay away from larger vehicles like semis, because their large surfaces provide the wind with more surface area to push against which can cause them to swerve. Large vehicles have even less control than small vehicles do in bad weather, so be mindful while driving.
