The rain cause so many worries while driving like difficulty
in vision slipperiness which is the most common cause of accidents.
Don’t worry too much; here we will give you beneficial tips
to drive in the rain:
Drive Slower:
Driving fast during rain will be very dangerous it can cause
road accidents which lead to serious injuries. If you are driving in a high way
in the rain then slow down the car to a safe speed of 80 km/h and also don’t
forget to maintain save distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.
Pullover:
You cannot predict
the rain maybe sometimes it gets slow down and completely stops and you feel that it will not gonna rainy weather
again, then after covering some distance, it starts again, That’s what the rain
does; it completely unpredictable so it’s better to stay at the nearest gas station and wait for the weather to
become normal. It doesn’t matter how much times it takes 15 mint, an hour, etc
but its worth to wait because safety is above from all.
Don’t use Hazard Lights!
It’s a good idea to make your vehicle more prominent and
visible but it not a favorable thing to do because if other drivers see your
Hazard Light is on they will suspect for the worst condition like they might
think that you are having accidents or you are stopped due to some issue they
will slam their foot on the brake which can cause serious accidents.
It’s is better that you should never drive with hazard light
are on, these lights are only be used when there is a real issue. i.e accident or
stopped car.
How close are you?
The rule of thumb is to maintain the distance of two car lengths
in normal conditions like in sunny weather when roads are dry. Because in the wet
road you will probably gonna need more distance to stop the car, it is better to
extend the distance to four car lengths between you and the car in front of you.
Stay in your Lane:
It better to pick a lane and stay in it, because other
drivers might not be able to see you due to lower visibility, switching the
lanes and it’s not a good idea to switching lanes constantly, changing lanes
will not gonna get you faster even when the weather is clear.
Do you hear that?
Due to raining the range of visibility gets lower, so you
need to stay sharp and avoid any distractions while driving in rainy weather.
Turn off the sound system of your car or reduce the volume, and stay alert if
there are any danger or emergency vehicles.
Crank up the heat!
It might not be a
beneficial tip but in rainy weather, the temperature gets down and cause blurring
of the mirrors due to fog. A fogged upfront screen and limited visibility can
be life-threatening.
Do your wipers work?
The wipers play a crucial role in the rainy season because
they wipe out all the water from the front screen and makes the screen clear to
increase the range of visibility.
