Always drive to conditions

You might think you’re doing the right thing by driving at the speed limit, but Victoria Police are reminding drivers that in wet weather, it can be best to drive under the limit.

Wet weather and other factors such as road condition sometimes mean driving at the speed limit is inappropriate and dangerous.

With the wild weather Victoria has been going through in recent months, Victoria Police urge drivers to slow down to a safe speed, leave a four second gap between your vehicle and the one ahead, be alert to conditions which alter your response time, and always use high beams and low beams where appropriate.
