Driving in Bad Weather
Driving in light rain should cause
no special driving problems. But
heavy rain can impair visibility,
make off-road surfaces slippery,
swell streams and cause flooding.
Avoid streambeds and canyons
whenever rain is heavy or there
are thunderstorms in flash-flood
areas. Find a safe place to stop if
you can't continue driving safely.
Driving in snow can also impair
visibility. As snow covers the
ground, it can conceal rocks, ruts,
ditches and other hazards. Snow
can make it impossible to follow a
trail or choose a safe path. If snow
threatens to become heavy, we
recommend that you leave the
area as soon as possible and return
to pavement. Should you need to
stop while it's snowing, do not let
the engine idle for a prolonged
time unless you have good
ventilation. Carbon monoxide can
collect in the vehicle and cause
illness or death.
