With bad weather and a major Holiday, it is critical to ensure you have good wipers and window defroster if you plan any driving.  Slow down and allow more space between your vehicle and others.  When a roadway appears flooded, be extra cautious if there's a possibility of it being washed out.  Remember:  if your wipers are on, the law requires your HEADLIGHTS to also be on.  And lastly, the Move Over Law requires drivers to change lanes if able or move over and away from any stopped emergency vehicles.
