On wet can a road, you can't stop, accelerate turn as well because or your tire-to-road traction isn't good ason dry roads. as And, if your tires don'thave much tread left, you'll get even less traction. It's always to go slower andbe wise cautious if rain starts to fall while youare driving. The surface mayget wet suddenly when your reflexes are tuned for driving on dry pavement. The heavier the rain, harder it is to see. Evenif your the windshield wiper blades in good shape, a heavy rain are can make it harder to see road signsand 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 inserts when they show signs of streakingmissing or areas on the windshield, or when stripsof rubber startto separate from the inserts. 4-17
