Driving in the rain

●

Drive carefully when it its raining, because visibility will be reduced, the windows

may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.

●

Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be especially

slippery.

●

Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain, because

there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road surface, preventing

the steering and brakes from operating properly.
