Driving Tips
Driving in Wet Weather / Snowy
Conditions
Wet weather or snow can be dangerous
for driving. The following tips tell you how
to avoid accidents in such conditions:
• Drive slowly: Low driving speed
increases the surface of tyre tread in
contact with the road and provides
better traction.
• Maintain safe distances from other
vehicles: Wet weather results in longer
stopping (about four times that of
normal stopping distance). So, it make
sense to keep a good distance from
other vehicles, people and objects on
you path.
• Maintain tyres: Tyres do not provide
adequate traction once the tread wears
below two thirds of the tread depth.
Check tyres regularly and replace
them at proper time.s. Maintain the
recommended tyre pressure in the
tyres at all times.
• While braking, accelerating or turning,
avoid jerky and abrupt movements
Apply smooth, even pressure on
all controls. Abrupt steering wheel
movements or sudden, hard application of
brakes can cause loss of control.
