Significant risk of ice
Rain also falls in our department. The risk of icy conditions is therefore very high. Particularly in Châtillon sur Colmont Larchamsp, Laval, La Baconnière. Some advice if you have to hit the road: aadapt your speed, ride at a walking pace this morning. No sudden maneuvers in terms of braking, steering, acceleration and gear changes.
The ideal also, especially on major roads, is to maintain a greater safety distance between your car and the vehicle in front of you. And if your vehicle starts to skid, don't panic. Keep your hands on the wheel and do not brake suddenly.
