Can You Still Take the Driving Test in Heavy Rain?

[Tess]

You can still take the driving test in heavy rain. Here are some precautions to note for driving tests 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. Therefore, braking in the rain is not as responsive as in normal weather. For safety, you should start braking earlier. Compared to completely wet roads, roads that are not fully wet are more prone to skidding. 2. When driving through waterlogged sections, observe how other vehicles are moving 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 lower gear before entering deep water, maintain a steady and higher speed, and drive straight through. Do not let off the accelerator after entering deep water to prevent water from entering the exhaust pipe. Avoid shifting gears midway to prevent the drive wheels from losing traction. To reduce resistance while moving, maintain a steady, straight-line speed.
