With extreme weather occurring frequently nationwide recently, what should I do if I suddenly encounter hail while driving?
As the rainy season arrives, hail has fallen suddenly in many parts of the country. Please pay extra attention when traveling. If you suddenly encounter extreme weather such as hail while driving, please slow down immediately and pull over to stop. Visibility is low and roads are slippery during hailstorms; we strongly recommend that you turn on your hazard lights and slowly drive into a safe area to pause, waiting for the weather to improve before continuing. Since strong winds may cause tree branches to break and fall, damaging vehicles, and staying under trees during thunderstorms poses safety hazards, we also advise against stopping or taking shelter under trees.
Additionally, in cases of severe hail, we recommend remaining inside the vehicle to protect your personal safety and prevent injury from falling ice pellets.
