Some Other Rainy Weather Tips
•
Turn on your low-beam headlamps and your
marker and clearance lamps, if your vehicle
has them — not just your parking lamps — 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 on page 254.
City Driving
One of the biggest problems with city streets
is the amount of traffic on them. You will want to
watch out for what the other drivers are doing and
pay attention to traffic signals.
