Florida Driver's Handbook, Section 8: Animals, Rain and Night Driving

Animals on the road, low visibility from fog or smoke, rain and hydroplaning, flooded roads and driving at night.

Key rules

1. If you can't avoid an animal, don't swerve: keep control and stay on the road. Animals are most active at dawn and dusk. p. 71
2. In fog or smoke, use low beams, never only parking lights, and turn on headlights whenever you use the wipers. p. 71
3. Roads are slickest when rain starts after a dry spell; low tire pressure, worn tread and speed raise the risk of hydroplaning. p. 72
4. Never drive into a flooded road: you can't judge its depth or current. p. 72
