Today’s Three Seconds: Wet Weather Driving

In California, if your windshield wipers are on, your headlights must be on too. It’s the law — and it helps other drivers see you in wet, gloomy weather.

Small visibility habits like this keep everyone safer on the road.

Slow Driving in the Fast Lane

Driving too slowly in the left lane can be just as dangerous as speeding. It disrupts the flow of traffic and could get you pulled over—even if you’re near the speed limit.

You’re expected to go with the flow of traffic and keep right unless you’re passing. Left lanes are intended for passing; driving slower there can impact traffic safety.

⚠️ May result in a warning or citation.
