Weather conditions can dramatically affect road safety. As a new driver, it's crucial to know how to adjust your driving style for rain, snow, ice, or fog. Here are some key principles to follow:
- **Rainy Weather:** Increase your stopping distance. When the roads are wet, it takes longer to brake. Drive slowly and be aware of potential hydroplaning.
- **Icy or Snowy Roads:** Gently use your accelerator and brake. Avoid sudden movements. Be aware of black ice, which is difficult to see but extremely dangerous.
- **Foggy Conditions:** Use your fog lights, not your high beams, which can reflect off the fog and worsen visibility. Reduce your speed and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
- **High Winds:** Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel. Be extra careful when passing large vehicles or on exposed bridges, as they can cause sudden gusts.
