How To Avoid Accidents After A Rainfall by motocamara: 11:00am On Jan 30, 2012 |
Driving after a rainfall could be a bit tricky. This is because the water prevents the normal friction between tyre and road surface, making the road quite slippery. As a result you need to drive slightly differently than you would on drive on a dry road surface. Some tips to help you drive more safely after the rains: , • Leave some space between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. • Slow down earlier when approaching speed bumps, traffic lights, junctions, etc, so you don't have to brake so hard as you approach. • Do not turn bends as fast as you normally would, in dry surface. This applies particularly to our ubiquitous okadas), as a greasy road surface could cause the tyres to skid. • Horn while overtaking. You can’t really control the next driver, but you can control your driving.
