The rainy season is making its way in, stressing the importance of reminding drivers of safe driving tips against the icy roads. Heavy rains cause the roads to become extremely slippery as cool temperatures cause the rain to turn to ice. We want you to remain safe, which is why we have gathered these safe-driving tips for navigating the icy roads:
- Do not use your cruise control or overdrive when the roads are covered in ice. This can be extremely dangerous.
- As always with unique weather conditions, reduce your speed and leave extra room in between cars.
- Keep your lights on to increase visibility on the roads.
- It is important that you realize overpasses and bridges will turn to ice first, so be extra careful when navigating these paths.
- Most importantly, eliminate distractions and keep your eyes on the road!
