When driving in hazardous conditions, your driving safety will need to get adjusted; whether it's snow, rain or icy conditions.
There are a few things that you should consider in these conditions to protect you and your passengers, in addition to other drivers on the road.
First, you may not want to drive the same speed limit as posted. Assess the situation for what is appropriate for the weather conditions. You also do not want to treat each roadway the same. What might be an appropriate speed on one street could be completely different miles down the road. Be mindful at all times not to become too comfortable, and make as many adjustments as necessary to remain safe.
It’s also important that you keep a safer distance from other vehicles than you would in normal weather conditions. And of course, the same general driver safety rules apply; to be aware of your surroundings, look out for pedestrians and always stay focused.
