What should I pay attention to when driving in rainy days?

Bian Xiao believes that driving a car in wet weather should pay attention to two aspects: reduced tire grip and excessive water accumulation on the road.

Tire grip decreases.

No matter what the road conditions are, there is no risk of sideslip for vehicles driving only along the straight road. Only when you try to change its speed or direction will it get out of control. The difficulty of the accident first depends on the available grip. Many rural roads provide more grip in wet weather than urban roads with heavy traffic, even though rural roads may have more water. Although the muddy and wet leaves are slippery, at least you can see them and slow down before you reach them. However, the most dangerous surfaces are those that have just had light rain after the drought period. Therefore, on any road where you are not sure, please make your steering smooth, and brake gently at the beginning, and then gradually press the pedal hard until you are sure how much grip is available. In any case, when the road is wet, it is always wise to start braking as soon as possible. If slippage does occur, you will have enough time and distance to release the brakes and use them again more gently than before. More water

Some have signs on the ground, so you can see the water level at a glance. Usually, when the water depth exceeds the bottom of the car door, the water depth is very deep. Although the engine usually continues to run in water 60 cm deep. The problem with stagnant water is that you can't see how deep it is. Most cars can handle puddles and stagnant water well, but be prepared for possible water skiing. Some front-wheel drive cars are prone to sudden skidding when water accumulates and accelerates. Slipping usually happens when you accelerate on a narrow road, overtake another car, and the right wheel passes through the puddle in the right sewer. When the power wheel leaves the tarmac and rotates, you will lose steering control and acceleration ability. Therefore, prepare to quickly reduce power to restore traction and control. If the wheel is locked again, please repeat the above operation.
