What is the maximum speed limit when driving in the rain?

[LaValerie]

When driving on ordinary roads, regardless of road conditions, width, or rainfall intensity, vehicles must reduce speed. It is recommended to maintain a speed of around 30 to 40 kilometers per hour. On highways, during heavy rain, the speed should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour, while light rain allows speeds of approximately 100 kilometers per hour. If visibility is low, the speed should be adjusted according to the situation. Rain reduces friction between the road surface and tires, and excessive speed may cause tire slippage or skidding, which is highly dangerous and could lead to collisions, rollovers, or drifting. Precautions for driving in the rain: Maintain good visibility. Turn on the windshield wipers when it rains, and use low beams and fog lights if the weather is dim. If the windshield fogs up inside the car, activate the air conditioning to clear it. Ensure rearview mirrors are also clear for better observation of the rear. Prevent vehicle skidding. Hold the steering wheel steadily with both hands, maintain a straight path in the middle of the lane, and drive at low speeds. Avoid sudden turns, acceleration, or braking, as wet roads increase the risk of accidents. Keep a safe distance. Increase following distance in rainy conditions to avoid rear-end collisions due to reduced visibility. Avoid driving near large vehicles, as they have significant blind spots. Do not restart the engine after stalling. If the engine gets flooded, do not attempt to restart it, as this could cause further damage. Insurance may not cover engine repairs if the damage results from restarting; only cleaning costs may be reimbursed. Watch for pedestrians. Pedestrians with umbrellas may suddenly cross the road to avoid puddles, so reduce speed near pedestrians and yield patiently. Avoid waterlogged areas. If encountering a flooded section with unknown depth, stop and check the water level before proceeding. Drive slowly and steadily without stopping or speeding through. Avoid risky driving. If heavy rain severely reduces visibility, find a safe place to park and wait until conditions improve. Always prioritize safety above all else.
