Limited Visibility – Stay attentive and reduce velocity. Know what’s happening around you.
Brake – Brake early, brake slowly, brake efficiently, and by no means slam at the brakes. If you have anti-lock brakes, press the pedal down firmly and hold it. If you don’t have anti-lock brakes, lightly pump the pedal. Either manner, provide your self plenty of room to prevent.
