Driving in Rain and
an
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 itre
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.
