With a sudden shift in the climate, it’s difficult to predict the weather conditions. Recent rainstorms have created havoc in Indian cities. People witnessed high-speed winds followed by heavy rains that caused severe damage to buildings and vehicles. If you are stuck in traffic or driving on a highway, it becomes quite a task to protect yourself and the car in the middle of a severe rainstorm. It may cause a breakdown or damage that can put you in trouble. But a few life-saving driving tips and monsoon car accessories can minimize the damage, accidents, and trouble while driving in a rainstorm.
Tips for driving safely in a rainstorm
· Keep more distance than usual from vehicles.
It is the most important thing to do during a rainstorm. Minimize your speed and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles on the road. The rainfall reduces traction on the road, making it difficult to stop the vehicle. The extra space and minimum speed give you time to react in unwanted situations. In short, it will help reduce the risk of collisions.
· Turn on hazard lights.
A rainstorm severely impacts visibility. It becomes really hard to see the road and vehicles on both sides. Apart from turning on headlights and LED taillights, it’s better to turn on hazard lights to mark your presence on the road. However, don’t use high beam lights, as they can badly minimize the visibility.
· Don’t take sharp turns.
Many drivers get panicked and start taking sharp turns during rainstorms. But these abrupt and fatal movements can cause skidding and result in a fatal collision. It’s better to go slow and turn gradually, especially at intersections.
· Avoid overtaking other vehicles.
It’s one of the biggest mistakes that most drivers make during such weather. Overtaking a vehicle can lead your car to hydroplane, and you may lose the steering control, resulting in an accident. It is often caused by the water between the pavement and the tires. It’s better to drive in a lane or follow the vehicle in front of you.
· Avoid waterlogged roads and cruise control.
Both are dangerous during a heavy rainstorm, as you may end up meeting a deep pothole or an accident or collision.
· Put defroster to use.
Foggy windows during a rainstorm are an obvious thing that can also minimize visibility to a great extent. Hence, use the defroster system to remove condensation and get a crystal-clear view.
