Driving in Rain and on
Wet
Roads
Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On
a
wet
road, you can’t stop, accelerate or turn as well because
your tire-to-road traction isn’t as good as
on
dry roads.
And, if your tires don’t have much tread left, you’ll get
even 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 windshield wiping equipment in
good shape and keep your windshield washer tank filled
with washer fluid. 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.
