A few motors have daylight hours walking lighting that automatically come on when the automobile is on. In wet or foggy climate, you’ll need to switch from strolling lights to headlights. Turning for your headlights additionally engages your hind lights, which don’t come on with strolling lighting. Rear lights make it less difficult for automobiles in the back of you to look you when the climate is horrific.

Reduce your speed inside the rain, specifically when making turns. However, do maintain interest on the rate of the automobiles round you. Bear in mind to chorus from needless braking.

In case you come across status or going for walks water on the roadway, by no means try to cross it in your car. Even though motors are large, heavy gadgets, it most effective takes about a foot of water to drift maximum vehicles. You’re probably to lose control of your vehicle at simplest six inches of water.
Force slowly if you ought to go through a place of status water. Must the water attain the bottom of your automobile doors, flip around and look for an opportunity course. Even as you may not get swept away, water getting into your vehicle’s engine and mechanical structures can cause extreme harm.

I think it takes a skill driving in the rain; heavy rain, visibility is always poor, you recognize vehicles with their double pointers and full lights majorly.

Whatever you do, put on your full lights
double pointers and drive with slow speed. All should be well.

All the above is if you are already on the road when it starts raining.


If not
You wait till the rain subsides before you go out.

You see that number 7?

Nigerians no dey gree use their sense for that aspect. Some of them will still speed with very smooth tire again.

i mentioned number 7 because at least some taht have bald tire and will soon replace it will use their common sense not to speed in the rain.

but those ones that think they are james bond will speed in rain and with bald tyre together. thats a double risk.

thank God it wasnt fatal please be careful. thats how most fatal accidents happen especially in abuja because road is too wide. when rain is falling just be humble and go slow because even if youre an expert, a novice may become intimidated and end up making reflex move out of fear of your action
