Driving in Rain and on Wet Roads

Rain and wet roads can reduce vehicle traction

and affect your ability to stop and accelerate. Always

drive slower in these types of driving conditions

and avoid driving through large puddles and

deep-standing or ﬂowing water.

{CAUTION:

Wet brakes can cause crashes. They might not

work as well in a quick stop and could cause

pulling to one side. You could lose control of

the vehicle.

After driving through a large puddle of water

or a car/vehicle wash, lightly apply the brake

pedal until the brakes work normally.

Flowing or rushing water creates strong

forces. Driving through ﬂowing water could

cause your vehicle to be carried away. If this

happens, you and other vehicle occupants

could drown. Do not ignore police warnings

and be very cautious about trying to drive

through ﬂowing water.

Hydroplaning

Hydroplaning is dangerous. Water can build up under

your vehicle’s tires so they actually ride on the

water. This can happen if the road is wet enough and

you are going fast enough. When your vehicle is

hydroplaning, it has little or no contact with the road.

There is no hard and fast rule about hydroplaning. The

best advice is to slow down when the road is wet.

Other Rainy Weather Tips

Besides slowing down, other wet weather driving tips

include:

• Allow extra following distance.

• Pass with caution.

• Keep windshield wiping equipment in good shape.

• Keep the windshield washer ﬂuid reservoir ﬁlled.

• Have good tires with proper tread depth. See Tires

on page 5-55.
