Wet weather driving safety tips:
- Reduce speed: Wet roads can be hazardous. Reduce your speed by one-third on wet roads.
- Avoid jerky, abrupt movements when braking, accelerating, or turning.
- Turn on your lights: Rain makes it harder for other drivers to see your vehicle.
- Increase your following distance: You should leave at least five seconds of following distance between your car and the one in front.
- Avoid standing water: You should not drive on roads that are covered with water.
- Avoid using cruise control: Cruise control can interfere with your vehicle's ability to decelerate.
- Prepare your car: Make sure your tires have enough air pressure and tread and check your windshield wipers.
