Police are urging motorists to take care on the roads with bad weather causing a significant number of issues across Auckland.
These issues include high winds on the Harbour Bridge, surface flooding and slips.
Taking care means:
Increasing your following distance. It takes longer to stop in the rain.
Driving to the conditions.
Delaying unnecessary travel if you can.
Putting your headlights on – make yourself visible to other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.
Slow down – take your time, be patient, allow extra time, arrive safely.
