Car expert reveals 9 tips for driving in the rain
Ask if you need to travel
It sounds obvious, but if the situation is dangerous, consider whether the move is really necessary.
prepare for collapse
Make sure you have your breakdown repair number stored on your phone, along with any necessary information such as your insurance policy or membership number. Always keep your phone charged and have a charger in your car.
slow down
Stopping distances can double in wet weather, and wind and rain can affect braking and handling. Slow down and increase the distance between you and the car in front of you. By not going too fast, you will have more control. Note that stopping distance includes “think time” as well as stopping time.
do car maintenance
Check your windshield wipers, tire tread, and tire pressure before you leave. Keep fuel, oil, and wiper fluid levels high.
Follow in my footsteps
During heavy rain, the vehicle in front of you may leave a “trace” in the groundwater. Stay within this trail to avoid aquaplaning.
Let’s prepare the aquaplane
If your steering gets lighter and you feel like you’re in a lower gear, you may be hydroplaning, or driving over water with little or no grip on the road. The engine may also make louder noises. Stay calm and avoid sudden steering or braking. Slowly release the accelerator and keep the steering wheel in the direction of travel until you feel grip again. When you feel you have control of the car again, gently brake. If you must steer for any reason, do so calmly. If you are driving in the rain, turn off your cruise control to prevent hydroplaning.
Use lights correctly
Dipped headlights help you see yourself without blinding other drivers. Do not use fog lights unless it is very foggy and visibility is very poor.
think ahead
If you want to know if you might end up in an aquaplane or get fanned by the wind, observe the vehicle in front of you to see what’s happening to it.
Overtake with care
When overtaking in windy conditions, be aware of wind gusts when passing vehicles, especially large ones, as the wind may blow the vehicle off course. Allow plenty of space and be very careful when overtaking bicyclists.
