On slippery roads, stopping distance increases, so you should increase your following distance to at least four seconds to have enough time to react and stop safely.

Texas law requires a driver turning left to yield the right-of-way to any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction that is in the intersection or close enough to be a hazard.

In heavy rain, low-beam headlights increase your visibility to other drivers without causing the reflective glare that high beams would create.
