Driving in the rain can be both scary and hazardous. Driving in severe weather can significantly increase the risk
of a dangerous situation for you, your family and other drivers.
Serious climate demands your full focus,
so make sure to reduce driving diversions to keep your attention completely on
the road.
Remember that occasionally the best the choice you can make is to abstain from driving altogether and to stay off the
road totally until the climate clears.
1. Slow
Down
Amid any nasty climate or horrible
driving conditions, your first reaction should always be to adjust your speed
accordingly. Wet roads reduce your traction, and slowing down reduces the
chances of you skidding out, and will give you more time to react to
emergencies.
2. Stay
Focused
When you're in the driver's seat, it's
essential to pay attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians. This
is especially true in the downpour when you can't see too, and your ability to
stop might be prevented by the smoothness of the road.
3.
Maintain a Safe Distance Between Cars
Keep a greater distance between your car
and the vehicle in front of you. Stopping your vehicle will be more difficult
when driving in the rain. Keep up a separation of a few vehicle lengths between
your vehicle and other vehicles.
Not only does this give you more time to
stop or adjust if necessary, but it also prevents reduced visibility caused by
the spray from other cars.
4.
Avoid Heavy Braking
Try to slow your vehicle by taking you
foot off the accelerator earlier than you normally would in preparation to slow
down or stop.
Slamming on the brakes can cause you to
slide forward, and you won’t be able to control the car. Hitting the brakes too
hard can also force water into your brakes, making them less effective.
5. Take
turns slowly
Turning too quickly on a wet road can
cause your tires to hydroplane, and this means you won’t be able to control the
car and could skid out. Whenever you have a turn coming up, signal early and
start slowing down sooner than you would in good conditions.
6. Pull
over if necessary
Never be afraid to pull over to the side
of the road if you don’t feel comfortable driving. If you can't see the sides
of the road, the cars in front of you, or your surroundings at a safe distance,
pull over.
