Is it easier to pass the driving test in rainy weather?

During the driving test in rainy weather, visibility is poor, making it more difficult to pass. Here are some precautions for taking the driving test in the rain: 1. Stop if visibility is unclear: Poor visibility is the biggest hazard when driving in heavy rain. Even with the wipers on high speed, the rain on the windshield cannot be completely cleared, making it difficult for the driver to see ahead. In such cases, it's best to pull over to the side of the road and wait, while turning on the hazard lights. 2. Driving through waterlogged areas: When passing through waterlogged sections, observe the driving conditions of other vehicles to avoid obstacles like deep potholes. If the water level 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, higher speed to drive straight through. After driving through waterlogged areas or heavy rain, the brake pads may become wet, reducing braking efficiency or even causing brake failure. To address this, drive at a low speed while lightly pressing both the accelerator and brake pedals to heat the brake pads and evaporate the moisture. 3. Navigating muddy sections: When driving on muddy roads, focus on preventing skidding and getting stuck. Always follow the tracks of the vehicle ahead. Shift to a low gear before entering the muddy section and avoid changing gears midway. 4. Brake earlier in the rain: The braking distance on wet roads can be up to three times longer than on dry roads. Therefore, brakes are less responsive in rainy weather. For safety, apply the brakes earlier than usual.
