What safety action should be taken if road conditions are hazardous?

Adjusting driving to ensure safety is the correct course of action when faced with hazardous road conditions. This approach emphasizes the importance of adapting your driving behavior to the specific challenges presented by the environment. Whether it’s rain, ice, snow, or road construction, hazardous conditions require a cautious mindset. Slowing down, increasing following distances, and being vigilant for changes in traffic patterns are all critical adjustments that can prevent accidents and keep passengers safe.

Continuing to drive as usual does not take into account the need for adapting to the risks that hazardous conditions present. Similarly, increasing speed can increase the likelihood of losing control of the vehicle or not having enough time to react to unforeseen circumstances. Lastly, rerouting all buses to use the same road does not address the specific hazards that may exist or could lead to traffic congestion or other safety issues. In contrast, adjusting your driving is a proactive and responsible way to maintain safety under challenging circumstances.
