Driving Safely & Rain

1
I remember the day I received my new car due to
the large amount of rain that we received that
day.
2
I remember wanting to go driving so badly that
day, but due to the rain that I shouldnt.
3
I now realize that at the time I had made the
correct decision.
4
However, as I have grown I have learned that
people are forced to drive to work, meetings, and
other required events even if it is raining.
5
If that happens to be the case for you consider
these suggestions in order to keep yourself safe
when driving in the rain.
6
Many newer autos now come equipped with front
lights that remain on whenever we are driving.
7
The concept here is to aid in making our cars
simpler to see.
8
When it rains visibility is reduced, both our
ability to observe others autos as well as the
capability of other motorist's to see our
automobile.
9
Ensuring that our headlights are on while it is
pouring down rain will help to improve visibility
for each driver on the streets.
10
To drive safely when it is raining it is
essential to be positive that both the headlights
and taillights of our cars are really in proper
working order at all times.
11
When it rains the grease that is on the road is
raised up and blended with water and this mixture
makes the highway slicker.
12
A slippery freeway offers less traction for all
our automobiles.
13
This absence of traction may result in
hydroplaning, a condition where our car tires
lose their degree of contact with the roadway.
14
To stay clear of the potential of hydroplaning,
we should reduce our speed as soon as the freeway
is wet.
15
Furthermore, this mix of oil and water will make
it more hazardous for drivers who make sharp
turns or who try to make rapid stops while
driving in rain.
16
To drive safely when it is raining, we as drivers
ought to think further ahead and plan our turns
and stops earlier.
17
Leaving added space between the vehicle ahead of
us is surely a smart idea when the street is wet.
18
Instead of using the 2-second following rule,
drivers ought to increase that time-frame to a
3-second or 4-second following rule instead.
19
Stopping distances grow on wet roads and
providing more room between our car and the one
in front of us will give us an improved chance to
take action in order to stop without incident.
20
To be able to drive safely during the days that
rain, keeping these tips in mind will help to
keep everybody safer as we drive down the road.
