Traveling by car on rainy days

Here are a few things to focus on:

The roads are slippery and speed control is key1.Reduce your speed. When the vehicle is driving on a waterlogged road, the adhesion between the tires and the ground decreases, and the grip of the tires is weakened. Therefore, the driving speed should be slower than usual to improve the handling of the vehicle, and when encountering turns, emergencies, there is enough reaction time for safe operation or braking.

2.Brake slowly. The braking distance on slippery roads is longer than on dry roads, so the driver should brake slowly when braking. If the vehicle skiddies out of control during braking, the brakes should be released, the steering wheel should be turned slightly in the direction of offset, and then the brakes should be lightly stepped on after the direction of the body is corrected, and the brakes should be braked slowly.

Visibility is low, and it is safe to "see" and "be seen".1.Turn on the wipers in timeAt the same time, adjust the wiper speed according to the amount of rain to maintain a clear line of sight.

2.Proper use of lights to improve visibility. Proper use of lights can not only allow the driver to see the road clearly, but also improve the visibility of the vehicle and let the surrounding vehicles see him.

Keep a safe distance from vehicles and reduce merging and overtakingMerge and overtake should be minimized during driving, especially do not overtake in corners;

If you have to overtake, keep a good lateral distance from other vehicles to prevent accidents.
