Driving in heavy Hail

Подробнее о видео

Should you drive or stop in hail?

You should stop driving in hail, especially if it's moderate to heavy. Here's why and what to do:

Why you should stop:
- Hail significantly reduces visibility, making it dangerous to continue driving
- Large hailstones can crack or shatter windshields and windows
- Hail makes roads slippery and increases accident risk
- The noise can be so loud it's difficult to hear emergency vehicles or other traffic

What to do when caught in hail:
- Pull over safely to the side of the road or into a covered area like a parking garage or gas station
- Turn on your hazard lights
- Stay in your vehicle - it provides protection from the hail
- Avoid parking under trees, power lines, or other structures that could fall
- If possible, position your vehicle so the hail hits the front windshield rather than side windows, as windshields are stronger
- Wait for the hail to pass - most hailstorms are brief, lasting 5-15 minutes

If you must keep driving:
- Slow down significantly
- Increase following distance
- Turn on headlights
- Avoid sudden movements or hard braking

The safest approach is always to wait it out. Hailstorms typically move through an area quickly, and the temporary delay is much better than risking an accident or vehicle damage.
