A Crucial Safety Reminder: Slow Down in the Rain
The Mahwah Fire Department is using this incident to urge the community to exercise extra caution. Wet driving conditions significantly reduce tire traction and increase braking distances, especially on the winding or hilly roads common in the Mahwah area.
Safety Tip: When the roads are wet, “hydroplaning” can happen even at lower speeds. Experts recommend slowing down, increasing following distance, and avoiding cruise control during active rainfall.
