Why should you drive slower at night? Extreme weather conditions can significantly affect your normal driving, primarily impacting your ability to see. This is especially true in adverse weather conditions such as rain, fog, ice, snow, and dust.
Among all weather conditions, fog is probably the most dangerous. If you’re driving in foggy weather, lower your speed and turn on your low-beam headlights. If the fog becomes so thick that you can barely see, pull safely and completely off the road.
What safe driving tips are there? You should slow down at the first sign of rain, drizzle, or snow on the road. This is when many road surfaces are most slippery because moisture mixes with oil and dust that has not been washed away. Slippery roads reduce traction and increase the risk of losing control of your vehicle.
But it’s not only cold weather and precipitation that can change your driving pattern. You should also be aware of high temperatures, sun glare, and high winds. Understanding how extreme weather conditions can affect your driving and a car’s functioning is essential for safe driving.
