AAA Driving Tip of the Week
With heavy rain in the forecast, the best way to stay safe on wet roadways is to slow down, use your wipers, allow more stopping distance, and turn on your headlights. You’ll not only be safer: it will be easier for other drivers to see you, and they’ll thank you for that!
