All of us know that it’s very dangerous to drive a car in the rain or snow, and the car could at times skid and cause the car to topple over. Well here are certain safety tips and measures to take while driving a car in rain. The first few hours of rain are very dangerous indeed and driving to them is very difficult as the roads become covered with water causing the roads to be very slippery and the car at times would skid. A person always wants to be on top of his car maintenance so that he can avoid break downs during his journey through the rain. One of the leading causes of skids and hydroplaning is due to low tire pressure. You must always check your tire pressure so that you could avoid hydroplaning. When it begins to rain it’s a must to turn on the head lights so that you will be able to see where you’re driving. The main rule is that you must keep a very big distance between you and the cars in front of you always, stay in the middle lane so that you can stop your car from hydroplaning. Its advised not to use cruise control while driving incase if one uses cruise control it tends to keep the feet of the person who is driving away from the gas and brake pedal. Incase if the rain increases it always best to pull up at a nearby rest stop or gas station or park any where safely till the rain subsides.
