160. Condiciones meteorológicas
Las condiciones meteorológicas pueden afectar considerablemente a la conducción al reducir la visibilidad, la adherencia y el control del vehículo. La lluvia, niebla, nieve, hielo, viento fuerte y sol intenso pueden aumentar el riesgo de accidente. Los conductores deben adaptar la velocidad y distancia de seguimiento, evitar giros o frenadas bruscas sobre superficies deslizantes y utilizar las luces adecuadas cuando la visibilidad sea reducida. Incluso circulando por debajo del límite, una velocidad puede seguir siendo excesiva para el tiempo y el estado de la carretera.
How does weather affect driving?
Weather can reduce visibility, tyre grip and vehicle control. Rain, snow, ice, fog, strong wind and bright sunlight may require drivers to reduce speed and increase their following distance.
Should you drive slower in bad weather?
Yes. Drivers should adapt their speed to the weather, visibility and road conditions. The posted speed limit is a maximum and may still be too fast in poor conditions.
Why should you increase the following distance in bad weather?
Wet, snowy or icy roads can increase stopping distances. A larger following distance gives the driver more time and space to react and stop safely.
What should you do when driving in heavy rain?
Reduce speed, increase your following distance, use the appropriate lights and avoid sudden steering or braking. Heavy rain can reduce visibility and increase the risk of aquaplaning.
What should you do when driving in fog?
Reduce speed, increase your following distance and use the appropriate lights. Avoid relying on the vehicle ahead as a guide and make sure you can stop within the distance you can clearly see.
What should you do when driving on snow or ice?
Drive slowly and smoothly, increase the following distance and avoid sudden acceleration, steering or braking. Tyre grip can be greatly reduced on snow and ice.
