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.
