English Driving in Adverse Conditions
- 1/25When thick fog reduces visibility on rural roads
High beams scatter light in fog and reduce visibility. Fog lights and low beams are designed for such low-visibility conditions.
If you are driving on icy Greece roads
On icy roads, stopping distances increase. Keeping more than four seconds ensures a safe buffer.
If black ice may be on a shaded curve
Smooth, gradual actions help maintain control on slippery surfaces like black ice.
When rainfall is heavy on highways
At higher speeds, tires can lose contact with the road surface due to water buildup.
If driving on snow-covered roads
Studded tires provide superior grip on icy and snowy surfaces and are legal in Greece winters.
When snowstorm visibility drops below 50 meters
When visibility is dangerously low, stopping safely with hazard lights is essential to avoid collisions.
When crosswinds occur during a thunderstorm
Sudden gusts can destabilize your vehicle holding the wheel and reducing speed enhances stability.
If you are braking in freezing rain
Sudden braking on icy roads can lead to skidding. Early, smooth braking helps maintain control.
If roads are slippery
Cruise control may keep accelerating even when traction is lost, worsening a skid.
When snowfall limits night visibility
Road edges and reflectors offer guidance when snow reduces visibility.
When descending a snowy hill
Engine braking through lower gears prevents wheel lock and aids control on snowy descents.
If ABS activates on slippery roads
ABS prevents wheel lock during braking, allowing steering even in emergencies.
When you begin skidding on ice
Steering into the skid helps regain traction and control.
If you tailgate in heavy fog
Reduced visibility and close distance severely cut reaction time, increasing crash risk.
When crossing a bridge in winter
Bridges freeze faster than roads due to exposure to cold air above and below.
When your vehicle is hit by strong crosswinds
Gentle steering correction stabilizes the vehicle without overreacting.
If snow is expected before your journey
Snow must be cleared from all surfaces to ensure visibility and safety for all road users.
When caught in a sudden hailstorm
Hail can damage vehicles and impair visibility seeking shelter is safest.
If sleet covers your windshield
Washing and wiping the windshield restores visibility. Stop only if this fails.
When following tire tracks in snow
Tracks may offer compacted, more grippy surfaces and guide lane position.
If rear fog lights are used in clear weather
Rear fog lights are bright and can dazzle following drivers if used unnecessarily.
When rain is heavy and roads are slick
Deeper tread offers better water dispersion and grip in wet weather, reducing aquaplaning.
If traction is lost on a snowy uphill
Low gear provides torque while preventing wheelspin and keeping traction.
When driving on a foggy motorway
Lane discipline and visual cues help prevent dangerous swerving in poor visibility.
If heavy snow suddenly falls on a highway
Overtaking in low-visibility, low-traction conditions poses a high risk of collisions.
