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.
