2–3 Minute Talk Script
Weather-related driving safety is critical because road conditions can change quickly and reduce vehicle control.
Drivers must slow down, increase following distance, and adjust braking based on conditions.
Visibility aids such as headlights and defrosters should be used appropriately.
If conditions exceed safe limits, delaying travel may be the safest choice.
Safety Reminders
- Adjust speed for conditions.
- Increase following distance.
- Use headlights and visibility aids.
- Delay travel if conditions are unsafe.
