Wet roads and fall leaves can make driving difficult on rainy days.  Here are a few tips to help you drive safely today.

Driving Tips:

• Wear Your Seat Belt - It's important to take precautions when driving, especially in the rain.
• Be Careful of Hydroplaning -The best way to avoid hydroplaning is by driving slowly and avoiding hard turns.
• Drive Slowly - Leave space between you and the vehicles around you. It can be difficult to come to a complete stop on wet road. Leaving some buffer room can help prevent an accident!
• Check Your Lights - Make sure that your headlights, tail lights and brake lights are working. They are an important part of driving safely and they help other cars see you on the road.
• Avoid Skidding - If you notice that your car is skidding, it is important to stay calm. Slamming on your brakes could actually cause your car to skid more. Instead, continue to steer your car in the correct direction.
