Weathering the Storm

Weathering the Storm: Driving in Extreme Conditions

Rain, fog, and harmattan dust significantly alter the "friction coefficient" of the road. In these conditions, the standard rules of driving no longer apply. A safe driver doubles their following distance and avoids sudden steering inputs that could break traction. Visibility becomes the primary challenge, requiring the use of fog lights and wipers to maintain a clear line of sight. By respecting the elements and acknowledging that the road has become a different, more hostile environment, a driver ensures that they arrive at their destination regardless of the weather.
