Floridians know better than most how quickly the weather can change. One moment it can be clear and a moment later it can be storming. Along with these seemingly constant weather fluctuations being incredibly inconvenient, they also put drivers at the risk of experiencing a sudden weather shift while on the road.

Though it may seem arbitrary to review the safety measures for driving in the rain when we experience so much of it, data collected by DOT reports otherwise.

No matter what weather you are driving in always remember to stay safe. Implementing the proper protection on the road not only benefits you, but those around you as well. If we all do our part, we can make our roads a safer place in rain or in the sunshine. For more resources on how to drive in the rain follow the links below
