Can You Still Take the Driving Test in Heavy Rain?
1 Answers
You can still take the driving test in heavy rain. Here are some precautions for taking the test in rainy conditions: 1. Brake earlier in the rain: The braking distance on muddy or wet roads can be up to three times longer than on dry roads, so braking is not as responsive as in normal weather. For safety, apply the brakes earlier than usual. Compared to completely wet roads, roads that are not fully soaked are more prone to skidding. 2. Driving through waterlogged sections: When passing through waterlogged areas, observe the driving conditions of other vehicles to ensure you avoid obstacles like deep potholes. When water submerges the exhaust pipe, be cautious of water entering it. To prevent this, shift to a low gear before entering the water and maintain a steady, slightly higher speed to drive straight through. Do not lift off the accelerator after entering the water to avoid water entering the exhaust pipe; avoid shifting gears midway to prevent the drive wheels from losing traction; and maintain a steady, straight drive to reduce resistance.
