Budget Brakes has put together some tips to help you drive safely in heavy rain. Heavy rain can both reduce your visibility and make your car harder to control.
• Slowing down enhances your visibility, makes it easier to brake, and encourages other motorists around you to slow down.
• Use your headlights so that other drivers can see you.
• Maintain at least three seconds of space between you and the car ahead of you by tracking when they pass a point on the road and counting to three before passing it yourself.
• Replace old wiper blades at least once a year.
• Never drive through water if you can’t see the ground through it. You can easily flood your engine, ruin your electrical system, or be swept off the road by driving through water that is deeper than the bottom of your car’s frame.
• Get your brakes checked at least once a year at Budget Brakes.
Driving in wet weather requires a gentle application of accelerator, brakes, clutch, and steering. Budget Brakes hopes these driving tips will keep you and your family safe during inclement weather.
