Driving In Rain And On Wet Roads - Buick 2007 Terraza Owner's Manual

Driving in Rain and on Wet Roads

Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On
a wet road, you cannot stop, accelerate, or
turn as well because your tire-to-road traction is
not as good as on dry roads. And, if your tires do
not have much tread left, you will get even less
traction. It is always wise to go slower and
be cautious if rain starts to fall while you are
driving. The surface may get wet suddenly when
your reflexes are tuned for driving on dry
pavement.
The heavier the rain, the harder it is to see. Even
if your windshield wiper blades are in good
shape, a heavy rain can make it harder to see
road signs and traffic signals, pavement markings,
the edge of the road, and even people walking.
