How Should Beginners Drive in the Rain?
1 Answers
Methods for beginners to drive in the rain: 1. Maintain a safe distance by reducing speed and increasing the following distance. Turn on the headlights and drive with them on during rain. 2. Avoid coasting in neutral when going downhill; maintain the appropriate gear according to speed. 3. Drivers should be observant, especially watching out for pedestrians in raincoats and cyclists. Slow down and maintain sufficient longitudinal and lateral spacing, always being prepared to brake. 4. Brake early in rainy conditions. If visibility is poor, pull over and stop. Driving in heavy rain with poor visibility is a significant hazard. When parking by the roadside, turn on the hazard lights. 5. Check the condition of the windshield wipers and ensure they are functioning properly before starting the vehicle. 6. If the engine stalls due to water intake, do not attempt to restart it, as this can damage the engine. Instead, seek assistance from a rescue vehicle.
