Some Other Rainy Weather Tips
Turn
on
your low-beam headlights - not just your parking lights
-
to
help make you more visible to others.
Besides slowing down, allow some extra following distance. And be
especially careful when you pass another vehicle. Allow yourself more
clear room ahead, and be prepared to have your view restricted by road
spray.
Have good tires with proper tread depth. (See "Tires" in the Index.)
City Driving
One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on
them. You'll want to watch out for what the other drivers are doing and pay
attention to traffic signals.
Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving:
Know the best way to get to where you are going. Get a city map and
plan your trip into an unknown part of the city just as you would for a
cross-country trip.
0
Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You'll
save time and energy. (See the next part, "Freeway Driving.")
Treat a green light as a warning signal. A traffic light is there because
the corner
is
busy enough to need it. When a light turns green, and just
before you start to move, check both ways for vehicles that have not
cleared the intersection or may be running the red light.
