Driving in Rain and on Roads Wet Rain and wet roads mean driving trouble. On wet can a road, you can'tstop, accelerate or turn as well because dry your tire-to-road traction isn't as good as on roads. And, if yourtires don't have much tread you'll get left, even less traction. It's always wise go slower and be to fall cautious if rain starts to while you are driving. The surface may get wet suddenly when your reflexes are tuned for driving on dry pavement. The heavier the rain, the harder it is to see. Even your if a heavy rain windshield wiper blades are in good shape, can makeit harder to see road signs and traffic signals, pavement markings, the edge of the road and even people walking. It's wise to keep your windshield wiping equipment in good shape and keep your windshield washer tank filled with washer fluid. Replace your windshield wiper of inserts when they show signs streaking or missing areas on the windshield, when strips of rubber start to or separate from the inserts. 4-17
