Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road, you can't stop, accelerate or turn aswell because your tire-to-road traction isn't as good as on dry roads. And, if your tiresdon't have much tread left, you'll get even less traction. It'salways wise to go slower and be cautious if rain starts to fall 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 if your windshield wiper blades are in good shape, a heavy rain can make it harder to see road signs and trafficsignals, even pavement markings, theedge of the road and people walking. It's wise to keep your windshield wiping equipment in good shape and keep yourwindshield washer tank filled with washerfluid. Replace your windshield wiper inserts when they show signs of streaking or missing areas on the windshield, or when strips of rubber start to separate from the inserts.
