Today, most of the country is experiencing precipitation in the form of sleet and rain. Depending on the region, air temperatures range from -2 to +4°C, with the possibility of fog and black ice formation. Such weather conditions can complicate the road situation.

When driving in conditions of poor visibility, it is necessary to switch on the low beam headlights and increase the distance to other vehicles. The high beam is not recommended, as in this case, a dense curtain of light appears in front of the car, which can blind the driver.

From December 1, all vehicles must be equipped with winter tires! It is necessary to adopt a restrained driving style, avoid sudden braking and lane changes. One of the most dangerous maneuvers is overtaking. In fog, during snowfall and rain, it is best to refrain from it altogether. Due to wet weather, the shoulders of rural roads often become unsuitable for pedestrian movement. Drivers need to be prepared for their appearance on the roadway.

Pedestrians should make themselves visible by wearing high-visibility clothing, and in the dark, they must use retro-reflective elements that are visible to drivers. Observe traffic rules, cross the road only in designated areas, having made sure in advance that vehicles have stopped and are yielding.
