Storm season brings more than just rain and hail—it brings slick roads, poor visibility, and a higher risk of collisions. At Comeback Auto Assist, we see the damage storms can cause up close. Whether you’re caught in a downpour or navigating through hail, these storm season driving tips will help you stay safe and avoid unnecessary repairs.
Wet roads reduce traction and increase stopping distance. Driving slower and giving the vehicle ahead of you more space gives you more time to react—especially if the road is slick or visibility is limited.
In heavy rain or hail, always turn on your headlights so others can see you. Only use hazard lights when you’re stopped, not while driving—doing so may confuse other drivers.
Stormy conditions make it easier to lose control. Brake gently and steer smoothly to reduce your risk of hydroplaning or skidding.
Just a few inches of water can cause your car to stall—or worse, be swept away. If a road looks flooded, turn around and find a safer route.
Storms often knock down branches, power lines, and debris into the road. Stay alert and drive cautiously, especially at night or in poorly lit areas.
If hail starts falling or visibility drops to near zero, safely pull over in a sheltered area (like a gas station canopy or parking garage). Avoid stopping under trees or power lines, which may fall during strong winds.
Even if you avoided an accident, hail or debris may have caused damage you didn’t notice right away. Schedule a quick inspection at Comeback Auto Assist to catch issues early—before they turn into costly repairs.
Driving during storm season requires extra caution—but with the right habits, you can stay safe and avoid damage. And if something does go wrong, know that Comeback Auto Assist is here with fast, expert repairs to get you back on the road.
