Does Heavy Rain Affect Driving a Car?
1 Answers
Heavy rain does affect driving a car, with specific impacts as follows: 1. Impaired visibility: Rain affects visibility, requiring appropriate wiper frequency; humid air can easily cause fog to form on the inner surface of the windshield, so defogging is necessary. 2. Increased risk of skidding: Wet roads are prone to skidding, so maintaining a safe low speed is crucial; in emergencies, ensure directional stability during hard braking to prevent rollover. Below are precautions for driving in heavy rain: 1. Turn on wipers and fog lights: During heavy or torrential rain, promptly activate wipers to ensure clear forward visibility. When heavy rain darkens the surroundings, also turn on low beams and fog lights. 2. Exercise caution on curves: Be extra careful on curved sections during rain, as these areas often have slight inclines where water can accumulate at lower points. If one side of the vehicle's tires passes through accumulated water, the car may skid and lose control.
