Can You Drive on the Highway in the Rain?

[BentleyRose]

You can drive on the highway in the rain. Here are the precautions for driving on the highway during rainy weather: Before starting the car, the driver should ensure good visibility. The rearview mirrors can easily get wet in the rain, which may blur the driver's vision. It is essential to wipe the mirrors dry so that the driver can clearly observe the movement of vehicles behind and react quickly. Before setting off, promptly check the vehicle's braking system to prevent accidents caused by brake failure due to water ingress. Avoid sudden braking when encountering water puddles. Driving on the highway in the rain requires extra caution. Always fasten your seatbelt, as the road is slippery, and wind can cause the car to drift. Control your speed—avoid speeding and maintain a consistent speed to prevent skidding. For safety, reduce your speed by 20%-50% depending on the intensity of the rain and the condition of the road surface.
