Maintenance Tip Of The Week: Reduced Visibility Conditions

Rv

Driving is always more difficult in reduced-visibility conditions. It’s hard to see your route clearly. Reduced visibility conditions include twilight, darkness, rain, snow, fog, smoke, and bright sunshine.

- Use moderation in judging a safe speed. Drive slow enough to maintain a safe stopping distance.
- Don’t slow down so much that you become a risk to other drivers.
- Be aware that in reduced visibility conditions, drivers tend to follow the tail lights of vehicles in front of them.
- If you must pull off of the road, pull as far off of the road as possible, turn off your headlights, take your foot off of the brake pedal, and turn on your hazard lights.
- Make sure you have a pair of sunglasses in your vehicle in case of bright sunlight.
