First and foremost, if the weather is really bad, don't drive. Under any driving condition, if you feel nervous, unsafe, or extremely tired, then don't drive. Otherwise, you might just be the next accident waiting to happen. Call a friend, call a cab, or make new plans. Safety is always the first priority.
Here are a few safety tips:
1. Give yourself extra time to arrive.
2. Drive defensively in foul weather, or any kind of weather.
3. If you’re being tailgated, pull over and let the vehicle pass.
4. Test your wipers to make sure they're working properly.
5. Keep your headlights on in if it's early morning or in the evening.
6. When coming to a stop, avoid putting sudden pressure on the brakes.
7. Ensure steady acceleration in going up or down a hill.
