Wet leaves can be as slippery as ice ๐๐ Here's how to stay in control:
๐ข Slow down early. Don't wait until you're on the leaves.
๐ฆถ Be gentle. Brake, steer and accelerate smoothly, with no sudden moves.
โ๏ธ Leave a bigger gap. At least 4 seconds from the car in front in the wet.
๐ Slow down before bends, not in them. Brake while the car is going straight.
๐ Look out for piles of leaves. They can hide potholes, kerbs and drains.
๐ฎโ๐จ If you start to skid, ease off the accelerator and steer gently where you want to go. Don't slam the brakes.
