Allow extra reaction time.

Avoid stopping. Other drivers may not see your vehicle in time to avoid it. Often, poor visibility will improve after a short distance. Use headlights. If you must stop, pull the vehicle as far to the right as possible.

Reduce your driving, not only for safety reasons but also to avoid stirring up dust and exacerbating the problem. Blowing sand also damages windshields and vehicle paint. A Father Is Special For the countless baseball games you've attended and the many talent shows where you've had front-row seats, our funeral home would like to wish all the fathers of this community a "Happy Father's Day." We often see the support you provide your family during difficult times. And we understand the careful balance of dedication, love, and discipline it takes to be a good father.
