In the event of a vehicle stalling in waterlogged roads during heavy rain, immediately exit the vehicle and move to higher ground. Below are precautions for driving in rainy conditions: Reduce speed and drive cautiously: Regardless of road width or condition, always slow down in the rain, maintain awareness of the distance to surrounding vehicles, and be prepared to take emergency measures. Visibility is reduced in rainy weather, and braking distances increase, so slowing down in advance allows more time and space to react, ensuring safety. Maintain a safe distance: Reduced visibility in the rain necessitates keeping a safe distance from other vehicles, especially large trucks. Large vehicles can obstruct your view, and water depths they can pass through may be unsafe for smaller cars. Additionally, trucks can create splashes that disrupt smaller vehicles. Use fog lights: Utilize fog lights to enhance driving safety in the rain. Turn on hazard lights if necessary to alert following vehicles to your presence. Do not restart a stalled engine: During heavy rain or storms, some roads can become severely waterlogged in a short time. If you must drive through water, do so at a steady speed in a low gear. If the vehicle stalls, do not attempt to restart it immediately, as this can cause severe engine damage. Instead, contact a professional repair service for an on-site inspection before restarting the vehicle.
