Can You Reverse in Heavy Rain?
1 Answers
You can reverse in heavy rain, but avoid turning the steering wheel sharply. Driving speed in rainy conditions: When driving on regular roads, regardless of road conditions, width, or rainfall intensity, it is necessary to reduce speed. It is best to maintain a speed of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour. This is because rain reduces friction between the road surface and tires, and excessive speed may cause tire slippage or skidding, which is very dangerous and could lead to collisions, rollovers, or drifting. Maintaining good visibility: In rainy conditions, turn on the windshield wipers. If the weather is dim, also turn on the low beams and fog lights. If there is fogging on the interior windshield, use the air conditioning to clear it. Additionally, ensure the rearview mirrors are clear for observing the situation behind the vehicle.
