Dana

The Dana is making its presence felt along the Costa del Sol, bringing strong winds, heavy rainfall, and turbulent weather. This is causing significant regional disruptions, with flooding and hazardous conditions. As we brace for more stormy weather, it’s important to stay informed and take precautions as the Dana continues to impact Gibraltar.

Key Tips for Rainy-Day Driving

1. Tyre Check: Don’t forget to check your tyres! They’re especially important when the roads are wet. Worn-out tyres can slip or hydroplane on standing water, making it tough to control your car.

 

2. Slow Down: Braking gently is the best way to stay safe on rainy roads. Wet surfaces make it harder for your tires to grip the road, so slow down and give yourself more time to stop.

 

3. Give Yourself Space: Stopping distances can be up to twice as long in the rain. Keep a safe distance between your car and the one in front of you to give yourself plenty of time to react.

 

4. Turn on Your Headlights: Even if it’s sunny, turn on your headlights when it rains. This will help other drivers see you and avoid accidents.

 

5. Be Smooth: Steer and brake gently to keep your car under control. Avoid sudden movements that could cause skidding.
