Are you putting safety first when you’re out in rain? If you must go out before the weather clears, make sure you can see and be seen.

 

Before You Go:

• Make sure your wiper blades are working
• Make sure your lights and turn signals are functioning
• Check your tire pressure once a month
• Consider your route and avoid low-lying or flood-prone areas

While You’re Driving:

• Even if your vehicle has daytime running lamps, keep your headlights on.
• Resist the urge to use cruise control (or any form of autonomous driving), and pay attention to your surroundings.
• Drive slower than you otherwise would.
• Avoid braking suddenly or turning sharply, and allow extra stopping distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.
• If your car enters a skid on a wet road, keep your eyes and vehicle in the direction of the skid.

Finally, accidents happen, so, to ensure that your coverage is appropriate for your level of risk, talk to one of our local independent insurance agents. Call, Click, or Come by TODAY.
