HOW TO MANAGE CONDITIONS OF DRIVING
.jpeg)
In my last post which I captioned six conditions of driving, I discussed only one condition which is light, today I will discuss two more and they are listed as follows.
WEATHER
ROAD
WEATHER
The adverse weather conditions a driver may encounter include rain, dew (harmattan) and high winds. During rain and heavy dew do the following
- Reduce speed
- Increase following distance
- Put on low beam headlights
- Park in open space if the rain is very heavy or when wind is very strong. Put on hazard lights if you park by the roadside.
- Avoid hydroplaning
ROAD
study the characteristics of the road you are driving on.
SHAPE OF THE ROAD - is the road straight, curve, flat or hilly? Road signs will guide you. Look out for them. Reduce your speed when approached curves and hills.
ROAD SURFACE - can be concrete, asphalt, gravel, laterite or dirt. It can be dry, wet, smooth or bumpy. There could be lane and pavement lines or not. Adjust your driving to suit condition.
SHOULDER - check whether the road has shoulder, and if it is safe to drive on during emergency. If shoulder has loose gravel or covered with wet leaves or mud, be careful as such surface can cause skidding. Watching for road signs and be careful in road construction area.
Hope to see you as we discuss next conditions
