Driving in dry weather is much easier than driving in rain. If the roads are wet, you may lose control. Even in this weather, it is more difficult to recognize signs or different types of transport.
Driving Safely in Rain
1. Allocate more travel time initially. This will allow you to go a little slower, which will be safer. This will make it easier to cope with movement in such conditions.
2. It is imperative to turn on the headlights of your car, even when the rain is not at all heavy. This will allow you to better see what is happening on the road, and most importantly - it will allow others to notice your car on the road.
3. To prevent your windows from fogging up, you need to activate the airflow of the front and rear windows.
4. In order to avoid an accident, you need to drive slower than usual and increase the distance between you and those driving in front, due to the fact that the braking distance on the wet road increases.
5. You need to stop gradually and in advance. Try not to brake as hard as usual. This will increase your stopping distance, but the one driving behind will understand that your car is stopping and will also reduce its speed.
6. Try to pay close attention to pedestrians, because even those who follow the rules of the road may not hear the noise of your car due to the noise of the rain.
If the rain is too strong, then it is better to wait it out at home or on the side of the road.
