Be aware when driving. Your inattention may cause you to slam on the brakes or make quick turns. Allow extra distance for braking. Your car needs more distance to stop on slick roads. Do not allow your tires to wear down too far.
Cloudy weather reduces visibility so use extra caution when passing other vehicles.
Maintain a minimum distance of four to eight seconds between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. If your vehicle skids, don't hit the brakes. Ease off of the accelerator and steer into the direction of the skid. Do not drive through flooded areas unless you are sure the water is below the bottom of the wheel rims. If you must drive through high water, drive slowly.
