During autumn rains, you must always be careful and extremely attentive when driving on slippery, wet roads. In order to avoid unpleasant and tragic situations, it is necessary to take into account several rules for operating a car in the rainy season.
Instructions
Step 1
The very first and foremost rule is not to drive. Do not drive at high speeds through puddles on the highway. When driving through a puddle at high speed, the car loses grip on the asphalt and literally flies through the puddle. Like a boat on the water. This is very dangerous, since at this moment control is completely lost and the car can fly off the road.
Step 2
Do not make sudden maneuvers, as due to a wet road, especially if there is sand or clay, traction with the road surface deteriorates - your car may skid.
Step 3
Try to avoid puddles on unfamiliar roads as much as possible, as there may be large holes or rocks underneath. And there may also be hard, sharp objects - nails, screws, fittings, and so on. To avoid tire punctures, do not try to drive into areas where the road is bad or construction is underway, try not to slip in the mud. When a wheel is slipping, punctures occur most of all, and it is even possible to tear a tire.
Step 4
An autumn rainy road can suddenly turn into ice, this usually happens at night and cannot be visually determined. It can be checked by hard braking at low speed (dangerous at high speed). Be careful - watch the air temperature and replace the rubber with winter tires in time.
Step 5
Remember to turn on your headlights, as visibility on the roads is severely impaired in rainy and foggy autumn weather. It is best to turn on the fog lights. Before the trip, be sure to wipe off the headlights, lampshades, turn signals, brake lights and, of course, state. numbers to avoid conflict with the traffic police.
