 Driving in the rain
 Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the
windows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
 Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be
especially slippery.
 Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road
surface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
