Video: Driving in Danger!

Rain, Wind, Ice, Dust Storms, Hurricanes, Tornados & Snow-Yikes!
 
People are used to driving on certain roads, especially those around their home, where they feel they can speed up because they know every curve. However, as soon as you add hazards caused by any type of storm, those all-familiar roads become instantly more treacherous.

Inclement Weather Driving Tips:
1)         Keep your fuel tank at least half full to prevent fuel line freeze-ups in cold weather climates
2)         Stay toward the middle lanes - water tends to pool in the outside lanes and cause you to hydroplane
3)         Have your battery and coolant system checked. Older batteries and weak antifreeze might not provide the protection and functionality in the cold weather, and worse, can cause damage to your vehicle when it's not running
4)         Understand how anti-lock brakes work. Do not pump your brakes. Instead, press firmly on the brake pedal when braking and let the system do the work to stop your car
5)         Traction mats, kitty litter or sand can be used to improve traction on icy surfaces
6)         Check your tires on a regular basis. Bald tires significantly reduce your traction on wet roadways
