Drivers who find it necessary to take their vehicles out during rainy weather seem to experience more stress than during other driving conditions. Whether it’s a heavy downpour or just a sprinkle, increased numbers of accidents occur when the pavement and windshield is wet. To reduce your driving stress, here are some tips you may want to remember.
If at all possible, wait for the weather to clear before hitting the road. Trust your instincts. If you feel the least bit uneasy about driving while rain is falling, reschedule your trip for a later time. This can be particularly important if the commute is at night. The lack of daylight increases the risks related to poor visibility.
When it is necessary to get behind the wheel while it’s raining, take it slow and easy. Even small amounts of water on the road can cause your vehicle to hydroplane so that you lose control.
