Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road you can't
stop, accelerate or turn as well because your tire-to-road traction isn't .as
good as on dry roads. And,
if your tires don't have much tread left, you'll
get even less traction. It's 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 ha&r it is to see. ,Even i f 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.
It's wise to. keep yourwiping -equipment,in.good shape ,and keep your
windshield washer tank filled. Replace your windshield wiper
inserts
when they show signs
of
streaking or missing areas on the windshield, or
when strips of rubber start to separate from the inserts.
