Safety Tips If You Are Caught in Bad Weather

Winter is a beautiful season, but the roads can be dangerous and challenging. We all want to make sure we are safe on the roads and are prepared for inclement weather. Here are some safety tips you’ll need if you are caught in bad weather.

Be Prepared

Driving in snow or rain can be scary sometimes. You have to worry about sliding and hydroplaning and you have to worry about someone drifting into you. With that being said, make sure you are prepared for whatever you may encounter. You might get stranded somewhere so you need to make sure you have winter essentials in your car. This can include extra clothing, a flashlight, blanket, food, water, jumper cables, and a car safety kit.

Get Your Vehicle Checked

It doesn’t hurt to get your vehicle checked every so often to make sure everything is running properly. Have a mechanic make sure your tires are good to go, all your fluids are filled, and that you are up-to-date with your service needs.

Drive Safely

Driving in winter can be totally different than driving in the summer. You must change your driving habits to fit the road conditions and weather. In the winter, during snowy and rainy days, you should slow down and give yourself extra space between vehicles. Allow yourself extra room just in case you need move out of harm’s way. Many accidents occur because people are driving too fast and lose control of their car when something happens.

Watch for Black Ice

Black ice is a dangerous road condition that can be very scary if you aren’t prepared for it. Black ice is a thin layer of ice that forms when the temperature is close to freezing. This makes the road look a little wet and it’s hard to spot, so you must be careful. Black ice is common in Utah so all drivers need to be aware of this and drive cautiously.

Road Conditions

Use your best judgment to decide if you should get off the road. Most of us want to make it through the storm, but sometimes we need to make the right decision and pull over. Make sure you are listening to weather reports and are aware of your surroundings. You also want to make sure your headlights are working properly so others can see you as well.
