Before you drive in rainy conditions, make a plan. Leave with enough time, stay alert, and give yourself extra space between vehicles. 🚗🌧️#TurnAroundDontDrown #BeSafeDriveSmart

Ankle-deep moving water can be enough to cause drivers to lose control of their vehicles. During rainfall across Texas this week, pay attention to the weather and drive to conditions. Check DriveTexas.org for current information. #DriveLikeATexan

See water on the road? Turn Around, Don’t Drown.🚗 Never drive through flooded roads or around barricades. Water can be deeper, faster and more dangerous than it appears. It just takes a few inches of water to cause hazards. Check Road Conditions: DriveTexas.org #txwx
