Precautions for driving in rainy days are as follows: 1. Maintain good visibility: In addition to driving carefully, turn on the windshield wipers in time when driving on rainy days. When the weather is dim, turn on the low beam and fog lights. 2. Prevent wheel sideslip: Hold the steering wheel with both hands in balance, keep driving straight and at low speed. When turning, brake slowly to prevent the tires from locking and causing the vehicle to sideslip. If the front wheel sideslips, correct the direction to the opposite side of the sideslip. If the rear wheel sideslips, correct the direction to the side of the sideslip. Never turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction. 3. Drive slowly in low gear: No matter the width of the road or the condition of the road surface, try to use second or third gear when driving in the rain, with a speed not exceeding 30 or 40 kilometers per hour. Always pay attention to the distance between the vehicles in front and behind and your own vehicle, and be mentally prepared to take various emergency measures in advance. 4. Prevent the car from getting stuck in water: When the car passes through roads with accumulated water or under overpasses, deep trenches, tunnels, etc., where there is a large amount of water overflow, first stop to check the depth of the water. The simplest method is that the water depth should not exceed the height of the exhaust pipe. If it exceeds, choose another route to detour to prevent the vehicle from stalling or the engine from being damaged due to operational errors. 5. Do not accelerate to overtake: When driving in the rain, always pay attention to the speed and direction of the vehicle in front. Never accelerate to overtake because the vehicle in front is slow, especially on highways where the road surface is slippery. When forcibly crossing the line to overtake, even a slight movement of the steering wheel can easily cause the wheels to slip, which can easily lead to scratches with other vehicles and cause accidents such as vehicle rollovers. 6. Pay attention to yielding and honking more: Slow down and honk more, yield patiently, and choose a safe place to stop if necessary. Never rush to compete with pedestrians and bicycles to prevent knocking down pedestrians.
