Can You Drive on the Highway in the Rain?
1 Answers
Driving on the highway in the rain is allowed. Speed limits will be temporarily adjusted via LED signs, with the basic limit set below 80 km/h. However, the enforcement standards for speeding violations via surveillance cameras remain unchanged. Therefore, even in rainy conditions, driving at normal speeds will not be recorded as a violation. Precautions for highway driving in the rain: 1. When there is standing water on the road, high-speed driving can create a layer of water film between the tires and the road surface, significantly reducing tire grip and greatly increasing braking distance. 2. During rainy highway driving, avoid making sharp steering maneuvers, as reduced tire grip makes the vehicle more prone to skidding. Even with an ESP (Electronic Stability Program) system, extra caution is still necessary.
