Precautions for Safe Driving in Rainy Weather
1 Answers
Precautions for safe driving in rainy weather are as follows: Pay attention to speed: When driving in the rain, you must slow down because the road is slippery, especially when turning, as excessive speed can easily cause skidding. The wet road surface in rainy conditions extends braking distance, so you should decelerate in advance to give yourself sufficient reaction time and space to ensure safety. Pay attention to distance: Do not follow the vehicle in front too closely, as the slippery road makes rear-end collisions more likely. Also, avoid driving too close to large vehicles. Firstly, they can obstruct your view. Secondly, large vehicles may pass through waterlogged sections that regular cars cannot. Moreover, large vehicles tend to splash water, which can cause discomfort to other drivers. Pay attention to visibility: Ensure clear visibility by removing rainwater and fog from the windows, and be cautious of pedestrians when crossing intersections. In rainy weather, the outside temperature is low, and the moisture inside the car condenses on the windshield, forming fog that obstructs the view. In such cases, turn on the air conditioning to defog. Drivers should reduce speed, yield patiently, and choose a safe place to stop if necessary, avoiding competing with pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles.
