RTA Safety Tips

It is important to practice safe driving techniques in unfavourable weather conditions. In that regard, below are some tips for driving during bad weather conditions.

Safety Tips During Rain

  • Check the validity of the brakes, tires, and headlights of your vehicle before starting your journey.
  • Whether it is a short trip or not, make sure your wipers work well for a safe journey.
  • Make sure to increase the safety distance between you and the vehicle ahead.
  • Drive slowly so you can always keep control of your car and avoid worrying about having to stop suddenly behind other vehicles.
  • Make sure to check your tires for a safe journey.
  • Always follow traffic signs and do not instantly press on the accelerator when the traffic light turns green to avoid losing control on the slippery roads.
  • Drive cautiously and carefully at a reduced speed limit for your safety.
  • Do not overtake other vehicles except when necessary.
  • Turn on your headlights and keep a safe space between the vehicle ahead of you to avoid a collision.

Safety Tips During Dust

  • Ensure that all your car headlights work well.
  • Be careful while driving and reduce your speed while switching lanes.
  • Close your windows and turn on the AC for your safety on the road.

Safety Tips During Fog

  • Stay to the right side of your lane to stay clear from vehicles coming from the opposite direction.
  • Keep an eye on your speed and ensure you have your fog lights on.
  • For your safety and that of others use your vehicle signals when necessary to warn vehicles coming from behind.
  • Do not drive with your high beam lights as it reduces the visibility, instead drive with your fog lights on.
  • When you must stop your vehicle, park on the side of the road and make sure to turn your hazard lights on to warn other vehicles.
  • Relieve pressure on the accelerator and use the brakes if necessary.
