When rain begins to fall heavily , your tires may hydroplane. This means the tires are riding on a layer of water and not on the roadway. Avoid hydroplaning by slowing down. If you skid while hydroplaning, try to regain control of the vehicle. Otherwise, release the accelerator and ride out the skid.
Wind can be a difficult problem for all drivers.
In high winds, you should reduce your speed and make steering corrections when you go from a protected area to an open area and when meeting large vehicles such as trucks and buses. Heavy rain or sleet often accompanies high winds. You should be alert to wet or slippery areas and plan for those conditions. In high winds, the Illinois Tollway System will ban the hauling of house trailers. Winter is the most difficult driving season due to many reasons, including ice, snow, lower temperatures and fewer daylight hours.
