Driving rain (29/09/2014)

This fact requires us to take extra precautions while driving, and that may pose a high risk of a road accident not to be cautious as the first drops are those that have more danger whilst driving, and carries two-wheeled vehicles even more, since the excess water, wet pavement and inappropriate speed, can cause us to lose control of your vehicle.

Driving rain can hinder the normal flow greatly increasing the risk of a traffic accident, we must adjust your speed to the road circunstanciasde because we can cause a collision with another vehicle and even get to get out of the road .

In particular, I would like to make a call of attention and caution to drivers of two-wheeled vehicles, as they are the most affected when driving in the rain, because the tire grip and stability is less, and my recommendation is pensárselo before leaving motorcycle or bicycle in the rain.

TIPS:

Check the tires.

Keep the pressure correctly and check the depth of the tread.

If appropriate, the skids and aquaplaning be avoided.

Slow.

The best way to avoid skidding is to slow down.

Driving more slowly allowing greater control of the vehicle.

Keep safe distance from the car in front.

Check your vehicle.

Take a look at the address, clutch, brake and accelerator.

On a rainy day, when you start to drive, the shoes will be wet and may slip off the pedals.

Beware the "aquaplaning", which occurs when water builds up in front of the tires at a higher rate than you need the weight of the car to move it.

If the rain is too strong, stop the vehicle.

The first rains make it slippery pavement.

Pay special attention to overtake other vehicles.

And even more caution for two-wheelers.

Be wise and most extreme caution.
