When should you be most careful with rain?
Safe driving
Explanation
When the **first drops of rain** begin to fall, it is crucial to exercise more caution while driving. This is because these drops mix with the **dust, grease, and other dirt** present on the road, forming a **slippery mud**. This mud can cause the vehicle to skid, increasing the risk of losing control.
- **Vehicle skidding:** When the wheels skid, it is important to lift your foot off the accelerator without braking sharply to avoid losing control.
- **Road conditions:** The first drops create a slippery layer that is more dangerous than when the road is completely wet after prolonged rain.
Therefore, it is essential to reduce speed and increase the safety distance with other vehicles at the start of the rain to prevent accidents.
