Whether you are a novice driver or someone with decades of driving experience, one of the factors for safe driving is the weather. The weather can have an impact of safely driving in all seasons. From having the sun in your eyes while driving, to driving in rain or snow storms, how you handle various conditions is extremely important.
While there are several factors involved in driving safely on the roads and highways, you can only control a small amount. As a driver you can control the speed of your vehicle, not being distracted, not driving recklessly and other factors. However, what you can't control is the conditions on the road.
Each season provides challenges to drivers. For example, in the springtime you have to contend with rain storms and windy conditions. In the summer, the glare from the sun can provide you with challenges in seeing properly. In the fall, you need to be concerned with leaves on the road which can make slick conditions for stopping. In the winter, snow on the road can make driving dangerous in certain spots. As a general rule, as a driver, you need to adjust your speed and driving style to meet the conditions, in order to driver safely.
