🔧 Vehicle Condition
- If your tires are worn, brakes are weak, or your car has mechanical issues, drive slower and more cautiously.
- These problems can affect stopping distance, traction, and control — so compensate with more space and lower speed.
- ✅ Best practice: Keep your vehicle well-maintained so it’s ready when you need it most.
🛻 Heavy Loads or Towing
- Carrying heavy cargo or towing a trailer means:
- Slower acceleration
- Longer stopping distances
- Drive with extra caution, maintain moderate speeds, and plan farther ahead for stops and turns.
