Gravel roads can quickly become dangerous during wet or stormy weather. Whether you're in a car, ute, or truck, it’s important to drive to the conditions:
✅ Slow down – the speed limit is not a target in bad weather.
✅ Use a suitable vehicle – make sure your vehicle is up for the task.
✅ Increase your distance – braking takes longer on loose and wet surfaces.
✅ Be alert – watch for washouts, soft shoulders, and slippery patches.
🚛 Trucks and road trains should only use gravel roads if there is no alternative sealed route, especially during or after wet weather.
