less traction.
It’s
always
wise to go
slower
and
be
cautious if rain starts to
fall while you are driving. The surface may get wet suddenly when your
reflexes are tuned for driving on dry pavement.
The heavier the rain, the harder
it
is
to see. Even
if your
windshield wiper
blades are
in
good shape, a heavy rain can make
it
harder
to
see road signs
and traffic signals, pavement markings, the edge of the road, and even
people walking.
It’s wise to keep your wiping equipment
in
good shape and keep your
windshield washer tank filled. Replace your windshield wiper inserts when
they
show
signs of streaking or missing areas on the windshield,
or
when
strips of rubber start to separate from
the
inserts.

Driving too fast through large water puddles
or
even going through
some
car washes can cause problems, too. The water may affect your brakes.
Try
to
avoid
puddles.
But
if
you can’t, try to slow down before you hit them.
