You drive at 60 mph on a clear interstate. A sudden snow squall cuts visibility almost to zero, and the road turns slick. There is no exit nearby. What should you do?
A is in the right lane of an interstate as a sudden snow squall makes the pavement slick and fades the road into near-whiteout ahead. Falling snow obscures the lane markings. The card states an initial 60 mph speed and no nearby exit.
Correct answer: Slow down gradually and turn on your hazard lights so that other drivers can see you.
Why
Snow squalls often hit on otherwise clear days and have caused large multi-vehicle crashes on Pennsylvania interstates. Check the forecast and message boards, and if a squall is coming, leave the road and wait for it to pass. The National Weather Service issues Snow Squall Warnings for specific roads.
