Driving in Rain and on Wet Roads

Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet

road, you cannot stop, accelerate, or turn as well

because your tire-to-road traction is not as good as on

dry roads. And, if your tires do not have much tread

left, you will get even less traction. It is 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 is wise to keep your wiping equipment in good shape

and keep your windshield washer ﬂuid reservoir 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.

{CAUTION:

Wet brakes can cause accidents. They will not

work as well in a quick stop and may cause

pulling to one side. You could lose control of

the vehicle.

After driving through a large puddle of water

or a car wash, apply your brake pedal lightly

until your brakes work normally.

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 cannot, try to slow down before

you hit them.
