Driving your vehicle
• Avoid staring directly at the headlights
of oncoming vehicles. You could be
temporarily blinded, and it will take
several seconds for your eyes to read-
just to the darkness.

Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving dan-
gerous, especially if you're not prepared
for the slick pavement. Here are a few
things to consider when driving in the rain:
• A heavy rainfall will make it harder to
see and will increase the distance need-
ed to stop your vehicle, so slow down.
• Keep your windscreen wiping equip-
ment in good shape. Replace your
windscreen wiper blades when they
show signs of streaking or missing
areas on the windscreen.
• If your tyres are not in good condition,
making a quick stop on wet pavement
can cause a skid and possibly lead to
an accident. Be sure your tyres are in
good shape.
• Turn on your headlights to make it eas-
ier for others to see you.
• Driving too fast through large puddles
can affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.
• If you believe you may have gotten
1JBB3303/H
your brakes wet, apply them lightly
whilst driving until normal braking
operation returns.
