The General Authority of Meteorology announced the continuation of unstable weather conditions today, Thursday, with chances of varying intensities of rain in several regions, accompanied by strong winds, leading to reduced horizontal visibility and traffic disruptions on some roads.
The Authority stressed that driving in such conditions requires full adherence to safety procedures, especially given the increased risk of vehicles skidding due to wet roads or reduced visibility caused by dust and rain.
Dealing with Reduced Visibility
The Meteorology Authority advised drivers to turn on their headlights and use hazard lights when necessary, while avoiding high speeds that could worsen the situation in case of poor visibility. Safe Driving on Wet Roads
The authority stressed the importance of gradually reducing speed when driving on roads experiencing rain or water accumulation, and avoiding sudden braking to maintain vehicle stability.
Avoiding Dangerous Lanes
The authority emphasized the importance of maintaining sufficient distance between vehicles to prepare for any sudden stops or skidding, which helps reduce the likelihood of accidents.
