What should you check if you expect it might rain?
Safe driving
Explanation
To drive safely when rain is expected, it is essential to check **the condition of the tires and windshield wipers**. Here we explain why:
- **Tires:**
- Rain can cause tires to grip the road less, increasing the braking distance.
- Tires in good condition help prevent **aquaplaning**, which occurs when the tire cannot evacuate all the water from the road and the vehicle loses control.
- Worn or very wide tires increase the risk of aquaplaning, so it is crucial to keep them in good condition.
- **Windshield wipers:**
- Rain reduces visibility on the road.
- Windshield wipers in good condition ensure that the windshield is clean and clear, improving visibility and allowing for safer driving.
Taking these precautions is essential for driving safely in the rain and avoiding accidents.
