Ditch the bus, stay dry with us

Driving in poor weather conditions

Despite approaching spring, poor weather continues to plague the UK. We here at System Driving School have put a few of our top tips together on how to keep safe in these dreary and dangerous driving conditions.

How to adapt your driving to stay safe on the wet and wonderful UK roads

Roads will continue to stay wet – Safe distance from cars should be kept as brakes are not as effective on wet roads and reaction times are decreased

Poor visibility – Although your car may have auto lights, sometimes these do not always work, so you should turn on your dipped beams and rear fog lights when needed.

Potholes – rain is one of the main factors towards potholes so more are expected to surface whilst existing ones become larger, so you should be more cautious when driving.

Check your tyres – as the temperature changes so does your tyre pressure. This can affect your braking and handling so it is important to get them checked
