In extreme weather conditions, staying home is the safest option, but if you must drive, there are strategies to stay safe and calm while on the road.
Plan your route in advance to avoid road blockages and identify potential places for shelter during extreme weather.
Check and maintain your car's safety features such as windshield wipers, tires, brakes, headlights, and brake lights before driving in extreme weather.
When driving in extreme weather, reduce your speed, maintain extra room between vehicles, avoid flooded roads, and prepare for handling an accident by keeping auto insurance information available.
