Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road you can’t
stop, accelerate or turn as well because your tire-to-road traction isn’t .as
good as on dry roads. And,
if your tires don’t have much tread left, you’ll
get even less traction. It’s always wise to go slower and be cautious
if rain
starts to fall while you are driving. The surface may get wet suddenly
when your reflexes are tuned for driving on dry pavement.
The heavier the rain, the ha&r it is to see. ,Even if your windshield. wiper
blades are ‘in good shape, a heavy rain can make it harder to see road
signs and traffic signals, pavement markings, the edge
of the road, and
even people walking.
It’s
wise to. keep yourwiping -equipment,in.good shape ,and keep your
windshield washer tank filled. Replace your windshield wiper inserts
when they show signs
of streaking or missing areas on the windshield, or
when strips of rubber start
to separate from the inserts.

Just before you leave the lane, glance quickly over your shoulder to make
sure there isn’t another vehicle
in your “blind” spot.
Once you are moving
on the freeway, make certain you allow .a
reasonable following distance. Expect to move slightly slower at night.
When you want to leave the freeway, move to the proper lane well
in
advance. If you miss your exit do not, under any circumstances, stop and
back up. Drive
on to the next exit.
The exit ramp can be-curved, sometimes quite sharply.
The exit speed is usually posted.
Reduce your speed according to your speedometer, not
to your sense of
motion. After driving for any distance at higher speeds, you may tend to
think you are going slower than you actually are.
BEFORE LEAVTNG ONA LONG THP
Make sure you’re ready. Try to be well rested. If you must start when
you’re not fresh
-- such as after a day’s work -- don’t plan to make too
many miles that first part of the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and
shoes you can easily drive in.
Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? If you keep it serviced and
maintained, it’s ready to go. If it needs service, have it done before
