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, and arrive safely.
