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

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

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.
