your
reflexes are
tuned for driving on dry pavement.
The heavier the rain, the harder
it
is to see. Even

windshield wiper blades are

with
washer fluid. Replace your windshield wiper inserts

your tire-to-road traction isn't

good
as
on dry roads.

or
missing areas
on
the windshield, or when strips of rubber start to separate
from the inserts.
