Can You Still Practice Driving in the Rain for Subject Two?

[MacAustin]

It is not recommended to practice driving in heavy wind and rain. Below are some safety tips for driving in the rain: Reduce speed appropriately: Wet and slippery roads reduce tire grip, which can lead to loss of control when turning or overtaking. Therefore, it's advisable to lower your speed and minimize lane changes or overtaking maneuvers. Fogging inside the car: Rain significantly affects visibility by blurring the rearview mirrors. Additionally, to prevent rain from entering the car, many people roll up their windows, which can cause the interior to fog up. Loss of vehicle control: Puddles form on the road during rain, and when wheels suddenly enter these puddles, the sudden increase in resistance can easily cause the vehicle to skid or lose control.

I've experienced practicing Subject 2 in the rain many times. Generally, driving schools allow it as rain doesn't mean you can't practice. Wet roads become slippery in the rain, and visibility may be blurred, which actually helps you adapt to various driving conditions in advance. When practicing reverse parking or parallel parking, rainwater may cause the rearview mirrors to fog up or become blurry, requiring you to rely more on the vehicle's safety warning systems and your steering wheel control skills. I suggest ensuring the windshield wipers are working properly before getting in the car, starting slowly, and avoiding sudden braking to prevent skidding. If the rain is too heavy, affecting the instructor's guidance or your concentration, it's better to pause the practice. Practicing in the rain can train your patience and emergency response abilities, which is very helpful for passing the Subject 2 test since the exam isn't weather-dependent. In short, communicate with your instructor in advance, and always prioritize safety as the most cautious choice.

I was indeed a bit nervous the first time practicing Subject 2 in the rain. The road was slippery, and it felt much harder to control compared to sunny days. But after a few sessions, I found it actually boosted my confidence. The driving instructor often says rainy days are great for practice—they train you to handle unexpected situations, like gently adjusting the steering wheel if the rear wheels skid while reversing. I recommend wearing a lightweight raincoat and turning on the window defogger before practicing. Don’t skip practice just because it’s raining, unless there’s heavy thunder—safety comes first. Driving in the rain is very helpful for passing Subject 2, as it familiarizes you with wiper operation and braking distance control, making you more composed when driving independently later. In short, adjust based on your comfort level, and don’t push yourself too hard.

Of course, you can practice Subject 2 in the rain, as most driving schools support such conditions. Rain makes the road slightly slippery, so just drive slower. Before practice, check the windshield wipers and keep the windows clean. Pay extra attention to distances when reversing. Practicing in the rain can improve your reaction skills, which is beneficial for the test.
