Is driving in rain and snow much more dangerous than usual? Why?

Driving carefully in rainy and snowy days is more dangerous than usual, because the road conditions and driving sight are different in rainy and snowy days, which increases the driving risk. Everyone should pay more attention to driving in rainy and snowy days to reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

First, when the road is slippery in rainy and snowy weather, the braking distance of the driver will be reduced. Usually driving is a normal dry road. If emergency braking is needed in case of emergency, the friction between the road surface and the wheels will be greater and the braking distance will be shorter. In rainy and snowy weather, because there is water or snow on the road, the friction will be reduced. When the driver needs to step on the brakes in an emergency, the braking distance will increase and the danger will increase.

Second, in rainy and snowy weather, the clarity of the driver's sight is not as good as usual. When it rains and snows, the driver's sight will be disturbed. Especially when it rains heavily or snows heavily, if you look out through the rearview mirror or the front windshield, your sight will be greatly affected, which is why drivers are repeatedly reminded to drive slowly in bad weather such as rain and snow. Because the vehicle is running slowly, when the speed is low, the braking time of the brake will be shorter, which increases the driving safety factor.

Third, when the weather is bad, drivers will be alert in thought accordingly. In bad weather, although people will improve their awareness of safe driving, there is no guarantee that any driver will be bold and think that his driving skills are better, so he wants to show off his driving skills in bad weather. Maybe their driving skills are fine, but the vehicles next to him are likely to be affected and have a traffic accident. Therefore, it is safer to go out as little as possible or choose to take public transportation in extremely bad rain and snow days.
