Rain, flooding, and construction zones can create dangerous driving conditions, especially when visibility is limited and roads become slippery.
What should California drivers know about driving in heavy rain or flooded construction zones?
⚠️ Slow Down: Wet roads can increase stopping distances and make it harder to maintain control of your vehicle.
🚧 Watch for Construction: Lane closures, uneven pavement, construction equipment, and unexpected traffic changes require extra attention.
🌊 Avoid Flooded Roads: Never attempt to drive through standing or moving floodwater when you cannot determine whether it’s safe. Turn around and find another route.
🚘 Keep Your Distance: Leave additional space between your vehicle and the car ahead. Even expensive vehicles aren’t immune to accidents.
Can a driver be held responsible for a car accident during bad weather?
Yes. Rain or flooding doesn’t automatically excuse negligent driving. Under California law, drivers must operate their vehicles at a speed that’s reasonable for the conditions, including weather, visibility, and road conditions.
