1. Snow

Snow is a weather condition that significantly affects driving by reducing tire grip and visibility, making roads slippery and unpredictable. It can quickly lead to loss of control, longer braking distances, and dangerous driving situations, especially when compacted into ice.

• Very low traction (grip) on the road.
• Risk of black ice (invisible ice layer).
• Reduced visibility during snowfall.
• Snow can accumulate and hide road markings.
• Increase following distance significantly.
• Avoid sudden braking, accelerating, or steering.
• Use low beam headlights for visibility.
• Use winter tires or snow chains if required.
