Driving Tips

Driving in Wet Weather/Snowy Conditions
Wet weather or snow can be dangerous for
driving. The following tips tell you how to
avoid accidents in such conditions:
• Drive slowly: Low driving speed
increases the surface of tyre tread in
contact with the road and provides
better traction

• Maintain safe distances from other
vehicles: Wet weather results in longer
stopping distances (about four times
that of normal stopping distance). So,
it makes sense to keep a good distance
from other vehicles, people and objects
on your path.
While Driving
• Maintain tyres: Tyres may not provide
adequate traction once the tread wears
below two thirds of the tread depth.
Check tyres regularly and replace
them at proper times. Maintain the
recommended tyre pressure in the
tyres at all times.
• While braking, accelerating or turning,
avoid jerky and abrupt movements
