Driving in Rain and on
Wet
Roads
-1
”
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 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.
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.
