Bad Weather

Over 450,000 injury crashes occur annually in adverse weather conditions or on slick pavement, according to the US Department of Transportation. The best way to avoid an accident in bad weather is not to drive at all, if you can help it. After sanders and snow plows have done their job, drive with caution, allowing yourself extra time to get to your destination.

Turn your lights on to increase visibility, or get daytime running lights which turn on automatically when you start the vehicle
Break gently; if your wheels start to lock up, step off of the break
Be especially careful on overpasses, bridges, and low-traffic roads
Drive cautiously and give yourself plenty of time to stop
