You are driving in heavy rain and notice an older driver ahead signalling to change lanes, but they are moving across very slowly. What should you do?

Explanation

In bad weather, stopping distances are longer and visibility is reduced, so you must drive with extra care. The Highway Code (Rule 216) explains that older drivers may have slower reactions and may take longer to carry out manoeuvres. You should make allowance for this by slowing down, increasing the gap between you and their vehicle, and giving them extra time and space, especially in poor weather conditions. Do not sound your horn, flash your headlights or follow closely, as this can intimidate them and increase the risk of a collision.
