What are the precautions for driving in heavy rain?

[CamilaAnn]

Precautions for driving in heavy rain include: 1. Maintain a safe distance: When driving in rainy conditions, prioritize stability by keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. Avoid excessive speed and always pay attention to the speed and direction of the vehicle in front to prevent rear-end collisions. Due to reduced visibility during rain, avoid accelerating to overtake, as it may be too late to prevent accidents like rollovers. 2. Avoid skidding: In heavy rain, the road surface becomes slippery, reducing the friction coefficient between truck tires and the road, which increases braking distance and makes skidding more likely. If the vehicle starts to skid, avoid slamming on the brakes or turning the steering wheel abruptly to prevent side skidding. Drivers should maintain a straight and low-speed course in rainy conditions, and when encountering turns, apply the brakes gently to prevent the tires from locking up and causing the vehicle to skid.
