Tip 2: Turn the headlights on in the rain, in the state of too heavy rain, safely pull the car over and turn the emergency lamps.

Tip 3:  Practice slower driving, absolutely avoid sudden brake, absolutely keep safety space from other front cars.

Tip 4:  Practice lower gear slower driving in the rainy road to avoid hydroplaning; whenever away from the flood driving, slowly step the brake to dry the drum brakes.  

NOTE: ABOUT HYDROPLANING. (https://www.travelers.com/resources/auto/safe-driving/driving-in-heavy-rain-and-wind)

Hydroplaning can occur when a vehicle is traveling too fast in heavy rain conditions, causing the vehicle’s tires to travel on a thin layer of water rather than grip the surface of the road. This has the potential to make steering and braking difficult and could even lead to losing control of your vehicle. Follow these tips to help you stay safe while driving in heavy rain;

 

ABSOLUTELY KEEP SAFETY SPACE FROM OTHER FRONT CARS.
