Why are traffic accidents more likely to occur when driving on a rainy day than on a sunny day?

We all know that traffic accidents happen almost every day, but compared with sunny days, traffic accidents are most likely to occur on rainy days. So what is the reason why traffic accidents are more likely to occur on rainy days than on sunny days? Let’s discuss it with everyone. In my personal opinion, there may be the following factors:

1. We all know that when it rains, the driver's vision will become blurred because of the rain. This is because when driving in the rain, the windshield is impacted by rainwater, resulting in poor overall lighting. Windshield wipers cannot wipe off the rainwater on the windshield in time, which will block the driver's line of sight, making the driver unclear about the road conditions ahead, and making traffic accidents more likely to occur.

2. When driving on rainy days, the wheels will slip due to the ground, which makes rear-end collisions easier. When some drivers change lanes to overtake, they inevitably have to turn and occupy other lanes. In this case, if the driver drives too much by himself, the wheels are likely to slip, affecting his driving. If other lanes are occupied, it will affect the movement of other vehicles, and it is very likely that the brakes will not be applied in time, resulting in a rear-end collision. Therefore, traffic accidents are more likely to occur on rainy days.

3. Driving on a rainy day is more likely to make you sleepy, leading to a lack of concentration, especially on rainy nights. Because sometimes some road sections are under maintenance, you can clearly see the warning signs when it is not raining, but when it rains, the view will be affected. If you're distracted, you won't notice the warning signs and can easily fall into a pit or hit a building.

4. When driving in the rain, the car will slide sideways. Rainwater on rainy roads forms a layer of "lubricant" between the tires and the tires, which deteriorates the car's braking performance and easily causes sideslip, thus causing traffic accidents. If this happens, the driver must drive accordingly. If the front wheel slips, you should turn in the opposite direction of the side slip, but if the rear wheel slips, you must turn in the opposite direction of the side slip, never turn in the opposite direction. When driving in the rain, the car will slide sideways.
