Will the driving test (Subject 3) be canceled in heavy rain?
1 Answers
It will not be canceled. Precautions for driving in the rain: 1. Brake earlier in the rain: The braking distance on muddy or wet roads can be up to three times that of normal roads. Therefore, braking is not as responsive as in normal weather. For safety, brake earlier than usual. 2. Driving through waterlogged areas: When passing through waterlogged sections, observe the driving conditions of other vehicles to avoid deep potholes or obstacles. If the water level submerges the exhaust pipe, be cautious to prevent water from entering it. To avoid this, shift to a low gear before entering the water and maintain a steady, moderate speed to drive straight through. 3. Driving on muddy roads: On muddy roads, focus on preventing skidding and getting stuck. Always follow the tracks of the vehicle ahead. Shift to a low gear before entering the muddy section and maintain a steady speed without changing gears until you pass through. If you shift gears midway, the car may lose power suddenly and stall, making it difficult to restart. 4. Stop if visibility is poor: Poor visibility is the biggest hazard when driving in heavy rain. Even with the wipers on high speed, they may not clear the windshield effectively, making it hard to see ahead. In such cases, it’s best to pull over safely, turn on the hazard lights, and wait. 5. Stay inside the car during thunderstorms: Even if lightning strikes the car, the current will travel along the exterior to the ground, making the interior safer. However, ensure all windows are fully closed and retract the radio antenna.
