Drive Safe in Bad Weather

The coldest months of the year also bring with them bad weather conditions. Be prepared to take on the bad weather and the dangerous conditions it creates on the road. ;The Oil Channel in Bremen ;has some tips to keep you safe this holiday season.

Snowy Roads

If you're driving on snowy roads or through a snow storm, take all the precautions necessary. Don't be embarrassed to slow down and take extra care. Drive at a speed that helps you feel in better control on your vehicle and that can help you maneuver better on the snow covered roads. Give yourself extra space in between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you just in case they need to make a sudden stop. If your vehicle starts to skid, release the gas pedal and the brakes. Turn ;your vehicle the direction in which it is skidding to cancel out the skid and continue going straight.

Driving Through Fog

Fog can severely reduce visibility and cause scary conditions on the road. Don't make the mistake of using your high beams in the fog. Instead, make sure you know where your fog lights are located. These lights are closer to the ground and yellow instead of white which ensures better visibility of the road in front of you. Pump your brakes before entering a heavily foggy area to warn drivers behind you. It's important that they see you in order to avoid being hit from behind.

Stormy Conditions

Just like on snowy roads, if you're driving through a rain storm it's important that you slow down. The slick conditions coupled with high speeds can turn into a disaster. Do your best to avoid driving through flooded areas and large puddles. It's hard to gauge just how deep these areas are not to mention they can cause damage to your car.
