Riding on a car during the rain

Comprehensive guide on how to drive safely in the rain:

1. Reduced Speed: Lower your speed to compensate for decreased tire traction and increased stopping distances.
2. Increase Following Distance: Maintain a greater distance from the vehicle ahead to allow more time for stopping.
3. Use Headlights: Turn on your headlights to improve visibility, even during light rain.
4. Avoid Hydroplaning: Drive in the tracks of the vehicle ahead and avoid sudden turns or braking to reduce the risk of hydroplaning.
5. Brake Early and Gently: Apply brakes earlier than usual and with less force.
6. Avoid Flooded Roads: Never drive through flooded areas, as water can be deeper than it appears.
7. Defog Your Windows: Use your car's defroster to keep the windows clear.
8. Regular Vehicle Maintenance: Ensure your vehicle is well-maintained, especially the brakes and tires.

Driving in the rain requires extra caution and adjustments to your driving habits. Always be alert, drive defensively, and adjust your driving to the conditions.
