STAY UPDATED
ABOUT WEATHER
The most
important precaution for driving in monsoon is to keep one’s self updated with
the latest weather information. If the forecast predicts extremely thunderous
rains, than you can improvise accordingly or take a route that is safe and in
better drivable condition.
SLOW DOWN
Slow is safe
and the tip best implies for wet weather driving. Driving at a safe speed
significantly reduces the risks and also increases the driver’s reaction times
in challenging situations. Leave early for your destination and enjoy the
blissful showers on the way.
KEEPING THE
WINDSCREEN CLEAR INSIDE OUT
Rains
significantly hamper the driver’s visibility and cause a glare or disruption in
the vision. An unclear windscreen further adds to the troubles. Thus it is
advised to properly clean the windscreen form the inside as well as outside to
be able to see clearly by removing any dirt, dust, mud, smoke, fingerprints,
and grime.
BE EASY ON THE
BRAKES
Excessive
pressure application on the brake pedal while driving on wet roads can lock
your front wheels and make the car skid. This is a hazardous situation as the
driver is unable to steer the car and it keeps sliding out of control. The key
is to brake slowly and earlier to prevent this skidding phenomenon called
aquaplaning.
AVOID STANDING
WATER
To prevent
losing control and aquaplaning, a driver must avoid standing water and puddles
on the road to be safe. Further it helps prevent splashing of water that could
be a danger for other cars on the road. Moreover the water could be hiding a
deadly pothole underneath that could severely damage the vehicle
underbody.
KEEP YOUR
HEADLIGHTS ON
When driving in
rain, do remember to keep the fog lights or headlights on for a better view of
the road ahead and also to alarm incoming traffic of your presence. Such a
slight precaution will lead to avoiding potential hazards and make the drive
safe.
