TIPS FOR DRIVING SAFELY IN THE RAIN

In the wet road the car behaves differently, and in low visibility conditions the risk of getting into an accident increases significantly. ⠀ Here are some tips for safe driving in the rain from experienced drivers: ✔Speed no higher than 50 km/h, and better still lower, if you feel that it is difficult to drive the car ✔Keep your distance and brake in advance ✔Do not use cruise control. It may not be adapted to bad weather⠀ ✔It is forbidden to drive in the rain if the windshield wipers are not working⠀ ✔If you feel that the car does not obey the steering wheel - do not panic, jerk the wheel or brake sharply. Allow the car to level smoothly. ✔Remember about pedestrians who rush to shelter from the rain and may suddenly run out onto the road ✔Avoid driving in a water-filled rut - it increases the risk of aquaplaning. ⠀ Remember: the main enemies of safety in such conditions are speed and ... nerves.
