Drive Safely in Wet Weather

Fast-moving storms with lightning and heavy rains can quickly create flash floods.

If you are caught driving in a thunderstorm, please keep the following in mind:

• Eliminate any distractions inside your car so you can concentrate on the road and

   your surroundings.

• If you sense bad weather approaching,turn on your radio and monitor the

   weather. In case of tornadoes, seek shelter immediately. If the road is wet due

   to rain, reduce your speed and drive carefully, especially on curves.

• Slowing down is the only way to keep your vehicle from hydroplaning. Also

   remember that one of the most dangerous times to drive is soon after it

   begins to rain, as oils on the roadway make for slick conditions. Waiting a few

   minutes, rather than rushing to your destination, can be a safer plan when it is

   raining.

• Turn your headlights on to help other vehicles see you.

• If you come across water over the road, get out of your car and check for the water depth

   before you attempt to cross it. Do not attempt to cross if the water is moving.
