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.
It’s 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.
