Driving in a harsh weather can put your safety at risk.
It feels pleasant when it rains. However, driving in a storm or severe rain might lead to fender benders or serious accidents.
It is a must to ensure safe driving so that you don’t meet a mishap.
Rain leads to more deaths than snow does in 39 of the 50 states every year 7,000 Americans are killed by car accidents due to extreme weather.
Here are some of the tips to ensure safe driving when its raining:
Keep yourself from hydroplaning.
Hydroplaning occurs when the wheel is not on the road but on the layer of water that is present between the road and the wheel.
Due to limited traction, the car is more likely to lose control.
It is wise to drive slow in rain. Moreover, avoid traveling as soon as rain starts.
The oils on the roads make them more slippery and dangerous.
Turn your car’s headlights on so that you and other drivers can see each other.
Maintain a 3-second following distance. Staying a bit away from the vehicle ahead can help you
anticipate the danger and protect yourself if something bad and unexpected happens.
