1. Rain
Rain is a common weather condition that affects driving by reducing visibility and decreasing tire grip, making the road slippery. It increases the risk of skidding and aquaplaning, especially at higher speeds or when water accumulates on the road surface.
- Reduced visibility (especially in heavy rain).
- Wet road surface means less traction, risk of aquaplaning (tires lose contact with the road).
- Water spray from other vehicles.
- Keep windshield and wipers in good condition.
- Reduce speed and increase following distance.
