There is a sudden rainstorm on the expressway. What should drivers do to be safe?

In the face of sudden rainstorm, drivers can take the following safety measures:

1. Stay calm: First of all, stay calm and calm, don't panic or be nervous. This can help drivers make correct decisions and reduce the risk of accidents.

2. Reduce the speed appropriately: Heavy rain will lead to slippery roads and reduced visibility. Drivers should reduce their speed appropriately and give themselves more time to react and deal with potential dangers.

3. Turn on headlights and fog lights: Turning on headlights can improve your visibility and remind other vehicles to notice you. In heavy rain, you can also turn on the fog lights to help other vehicles see you more clearly.

4. Keep enough distance between cars: The braking distance on wet roads increases, and drivers should keep enough distance between cars. In this way, there can be more buffer time to avoid the vehicle from losing control due to emergency braking.

5. Don't use the wiper: In the rainstorm, the wiper sometimes can't effectively remove water droplets, which will affect the line of sight. In this case, use a wiper sprayer or open the window to adjust the wind direction, so that the wind can help clean the rain on the window.

6. Avoid stagnant water areas: Heavy rain will cause stagnant water on roads, which is potentially dangerous to vehicles. Drivers should try to avoid driving through stagnant water areas, because it is impossible to determine whether there are obstacles or road damage under stagnant water areas.

7. Find a safe parking place: If the rain is too heavy to ensure your sight and safety, the driver should find a safe parking place as soon as possible, such as a service area or a safe area beside the expressway. Wait until the rain stops before driving.

The above are some basic safety measures that drivers can take in heavy rain, but please note that when driving in bad weather, you must make judgments and decisions according to the actual situation to ensure the safety of yourself and others.
