8 Tips on How to Drive Safely in Rain

During the rainy season, many roads are often inundated by the water, maybe even some roads flooded. You're driving a car should be prepared to stay safe when the weather is rainy and through puddles. Here are the things you need to consider when driving in rainy season:

1. Make sure all the rubber on the car in good condition, such as window rubber and rubber wiper. Immediately replace with new ones if there is a tear. Make sure the water content of the tube cleaning glass is always fully charged.
2. If the wiper jams, or water glass eraser out, and you're driving in the rain, try this emergency trick, find the nearest shop and buy a dab of soap. Apply soap lengthwise on the top edge of the windshield. Chemicals in the soap will make rain water slipping down directly so that you avoid the frosted glass.
3. Make sure all vehicle lights work properly, so that when in the dark when it rains, these lights can help you see the way to the maximum.
4. Do not carelessly through a flooded street. We do not know how deep the puddle. Look a car around you as your car type. If only half of the tires that sink, you are safe to continue. If more than that, you should stop the car at the curb first.
5. If you are trapped in flooded areas, make sure the water level is still below the exhaust vent and ignition systems. No need to turn off the engine while the exhaust is submerged. Exhaust gas pressure will block the water entering the exhaust. But if the engine off, exhaust has no pressure, so the water immediately broke into the exhaust.
6. When driving on wet roads, reduce your speed. The streets are wet allow Aquaplanning (the formation of a triangular layer between the tire and the road surface). This will make the car lost braking ability.
7. If you are driving in the rain accompanied by lightning darting, immediately turn off the car radio. Some of the components inside the car radio is very susceptible to lightning interference.
8. After passing through the flood, it is important to check the brakes. Brake components are submerged in water can cause rust and cause damage.
