Helpful Driving Tips for Severe Weather

Driving Tips for Thunderstorms

  • Avoid braking quickly and using cruise control so you don’t hydroplane
  • Turn your lights on
  • Keep your windshield wipers in good condition

Driving Tips for Tornadoes

  • Stay in your home and take shelter if there is a tornado watch or warning in your area
  • If you are on the road and are approaching a tornado, get out of your car and lay down on the lowest point of ground with your hands over your head
  • In extreme winds be sure to leave enough room between the vehicle in front of you and drive slowly

Driving Tips for Flooding

  • Keep an eye on weather updates for flood warnings in your area
  • Avoid driving on the lower streets and stay on higher ground
  • Do not drive through a puddle if you don’t know how deep it is

Driving Tips for Fog

  • If the fog is bad, avoid driving
  • If the fog gets bad while you are driving, consider pulling off to the side of the road until it clears up
  • Use your low beams for the best visibility
