Driving
in
the
Rain
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. Road spray can often be worse
for vision than rain, especially if
it
comes from a dirty road.
So
it
is
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.

A
Wet brakes can cause
-
accidents. They won’t work
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.
