Driving in severe weather: Advice from Met Office
Here are some top tips for driving in heavy rain from Met Office:
- Even moderate rain can reduce your ability to see and be seen. A good rule of thumb is ‘if it’s time for your wipers, it’s time to slow down’
- Increase your following gap to at least four seconds from the moving traffic in front
- If the road is flooded, turn around and find another route.
- Although the water may seem shallow, just 12 inches (30cm) of moving water can float your car, potentially taking it to deeper water from which you may need rescuing.
