More Rain Expected Sunday and Next Week – Please Drive Safely!

Rain is expected to increase by Saturday night and Sunday, and more rain is expected later next week.  Unfortunately, traffic collisions tend to increase during the wet weather.

Pease slow down! Speed limit signs are designed for ideal conditions. Beware of hydroplaning!  Hydroplaning occurs when a vehicle is travelling too fast in wet or flooded conditions; the tires of the vehicle cannot displace the water fast enough, and the tires actually “plane” on top of the water.  In these circumstances, tires get no traction whatsoever. This causes the vehicle to drift or skid uncontrollably.

 Also, try to avoid curb lines as this is where water often accumulates. If you do experience hydroplaning, take your foot off the accelerator and steer in the direction of the skid until your car has slowed enough to regain traction. Do not slam on the brakes, as this may cause your vehicle to skid even worse and give you little to no control.
 
If you are driving in inclement weather requiring your windshield wipers to be activated, you are also required to have your headlights on, per California Vehicle Code, 24400(b). This is to make you more visible to other drivers. Please remember at the end of your drive, to turn off your headlights, so you don’t return to your car with a dead battery.
 
When driving, stay alert to any road hazards. Stormy weather can cause power lines to fall. This can create hazards – electrifying puddles, wet grass, and the surrounding area. Don’t touch anyone or anything in contact with a downed power line. Always assume downed power lines are energized and dangerous. Stay away and call 911.

By following these simple suggestions, our roads become safer and result in fewer collisions, injuries, and congestion.  Thank you!
