What should be done when driving a motor vehicle on wet roads?

[LeEvan]

When driving on slippery roads, you should follow the tire tracks of the vehicle in front to avoid sliding off the road. Maintain a steady speed in third gear and avoid sudden braking to prevent the vehicle from skidding into roadside ditches. After starting, apply the throttle smoothly and avoid high RPM starts with excessive throttle input. Due to the low tire adhesion on slippery surfaces, aggressive throttle and high RPM starts can easily cause tire spin and difficulty in moving off. Below are safety precautions for driving on slippery roads: 1. During driving: On slippery roads, follow the tire tracks of the vehicle ahead to avoid sliding off the road. Maintain a steady speed in third gear and avoid sudden braking to prevent skidding into ditches. 2. If rear-wheel skidding occurs: If you notice rear-wheel skidding during braking, immediately release the brake and use a pumping technique (i.e., light taps on the brake), while gently steering in the same direction as the skid to regain control. For front-wheel skidding, steer gently in the opposite direction of the skid. 3. When starting off: Apply the throttle smoothly and avoid high RPM starts with excessive throttle input. Due to the low tire adhesion on slippery surfaces, aggressive throttle and high RPM starts can easily cause tire spin and difficulty in moving off.
