Your Driving and the Road
or other vehicles, and raindrops "dimple" the water's surface, there could be
hydroplaning.
Hydroplaning usually happens at higher speeds. There just isn't a hard and
fast rule about hydroplaning. The best advice
is to slow down when it is
raining, and be careful.
Some Other Rainy Weather Tips
Turn on your headlights-not just your parking lights-to help make you
more visible to others.
Look for hard-to-see vehicles coming from behind.
You may want
to use
your headlights even
in daytime if it's raining hard.
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. If the road spray is
so heavy you are actually blinded, drop back.
Don't pass until conditions improve. Going more slowly is better than
having an accident.
Use your defogger
if it helps.
Have good tires with proper tread depth. (See "Tires" in the Index.)
