In bad weather conditions, when visibility is low, drivers should:

Drive in the lane closest to oncoming traffic.
Use your high-beam headlights.
Speed up to get off the road quickly.
Increase their following distance.
Explanation

Driving becomes more hazardous when visibility is reduced or roads are wet due to rain. To stay safe, maintain a greater following distance and adjust your speed to ensure you can stop safely if needed. In poor conditions, be especially cautious - avoid sudden braking, sharp steering, or rapid speed changes, as these can cause loss of control. Stay alert and drive smoothly to reduce the risk of accidents.
