Why Should Motor Vehicles Slow Down in Rainy Weather?

[MacKaleb]

The reasons for motor vehicles slowing down in rainy weather are: 1. Emergency braking is prone to skidding; 2. It affects the driver's visibility; 3. The braking distance increases; 4. To avoid accidents as much as possible. Precautions for driving in the rain: 1. Turn on the wipers and air conditioner in time to defog the windshield; 2. Turn on the low beam and fog lights, and turn on the outline lights according to visibility, ensuring your own visibility while indicating your position to other vehicles; 3. Always observe the distance between the front and rear vehicles and increase the safe distance appropriately; 4. Be cautious when overtaking large vehicles, observe the overtaking lane in advance, turn on the turn signal and switch between high and low beams or honk the horn to signal, and only overtake after confirming safety; 5. When turning, the vehicle should slow down in a straight line by applying intermittent braking in advance, and then enter the curve. Sudden braking or sharp steering must be avoided.
