The main reasons for slowing down when driving in the rain are: 1. Reduced visibility for the driver; 2. Increased braking distance; 3. Higher risk of skidding during emergency braking. Regardless of the road width or surface conditions, it is advisable to use second or third gear and maintain a speed not exceeding 30 to 40 kilometers per hour when driving in the rain. Always pay attention to the distance between your vehicle and the vehicles in front and behind you, and be mentally prepared to take various emergency measures. When you need to stop, try to slow down about 100 meters in advance and apply the brakes gently to give the following vehicle enough time to prepare for emergency situations, thereby avoiding collisions or rear-end accidents caused by sudden braking.
