Driving in Rain and on Wet Roads

Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a

wet road, you cannot stop, accelerate, or turn as well

because your tire-to-road traction is not as good as

on dry roads. And, if your tires do not have much tread

left, you will get even less traction. It is 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 is wise to keep your windshield wiping equipment in

good shape and keep your windshield washer ﬂuid

reservoir 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.

{CAUTION:

Wet brakes can cause accidents. They will not

work as well in a quick stop and may cause

pulling to one side. You could lose control of

the vehicle.

After driving through a large puddle of water or

a car wash, apply your brake pedal lightly until

your brakes work normally.

Driving too fast through large water puddles or even

going through some car washes can cause problems,

too. The water may affect your brakes. Try to avoid

puddles. But if you cannot, try to slow down before

you hit them.
