Slow down and drive more slowly than you normally would in normal weather conditions on dry pavement. Be aware that the vehicle's response to steering will be sluggish and slow, even if the road surface looks only slightly wet. Try to act on all the controls of the car smoothly. On wet and slippery road surfaces, a sharp jerk of the steering wheel or careless depressing of the brake pedal can lead to loss of control. At the beginning of the trip, not yet fully adapted to adverse weather conditions, exercise increased caution. This rule is especially useful to observe when driving during a snowfall. It should be remembered that when operating a car in the warm season, many useful skills of driving a car on a slippery road surface are forgotten, which requires some time to restore them.
Be especially careful when driving in the rain, as lack of practice during the dry period does not allow you to quickly readjust and adapt the style of the bridle to new conditions.
Note. After a long dry period, the first rains make the pavement particularly slippery.
Review
For road safety in all weather conditions, it is very important to have good visibility in all directions. You should also not forget to take care that your car remains clearly visible to drivers of other vehicles - remember that when driving on the highway, turning on the low beam will never hurt even during daylight hours. These requirements are more difficult to meet in adverse weather conditions.
Regularly check the condition of the wiper blades and windshield washer nozzles. Maintain the correct fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir at all times. Use only recommended brands of fluid for refilling the windshield washer system. Monitor the condition of the working elements of the windshield wipers, replace them as soon as the brushes no longer clean the glass properly. To prevent moisture condensation on the inner surface of the windows, blow the windows with air, if necessary, turn on the air conditioner.
