Tips to Stay Safe on The Road During The Next Spring Storm

Wet Weather Driving.

Safe Storm Driving Tips

Even though spring showers are meant to bring beautiful flowers, they can also bring disaster. Even slightly wet pavement can lead to serious accidents on the road. Knowing how to stay safe during the next spring storm can help to ensure you reach your destination safely. Keep these wet weather safe driving tips in mind to keep you and your family safe this season.

  • Do not use cruise control – while cruise control may be convenient on long stretches of road, it can be very dangerous during spring storms. Since you are not controlling the speed of the car, you will not be able to react to the changing road conditions, which can lead to a loss of traction. During wet weather, always keep your full attention on the road and stay in control by avoiding cruise control.
  • Leave room and slow down – the slower you go on wet roads, the lower your chance of hydroplaning, which is when the tires get on top of a film of water. Even as little as a ½ inch of water can be enough to hydroplane your car. Hard braking can also cause your car to hydroplane, which is why it is important to leave plenty of room between your vehicle and the car in front. The more time you have to slow down, the better prepared you will be.
  • Know how to deal with a skid – if you feel your car start to skid, continue steering in the direction that you want the car to go. Do not slam on the brakes since it will make the car much harder to control.

Having the right auto insurance policy can help to keep you safe during wet weather conditions. Contact Gant Insurance Agency in McKinney, Texas for all your car insurance coverage needs and to stay safe while on the road.
