Suddenly heavy rain greatly limits motorists’ visibility, and can cause the vehicle to float on torrential rainwater. In general, the distance between cars needed to stop suddenly without hitting the car in front of it, in the case of rain and wet roads, can reach twice the distance required on dry roads.
And one of the technical inspection agencies for cars in Germany recommends that it is necessary to reduce the speed sharply and to keep the foot on the brake pedal with a strong grip on the steering wheel, and in the case of cars with automatic transmission, the transmission system must be placed in the “N” position.
Once the car skids, the tires can suddenly return to the road at any time, which can cause the car to spin out of control if the driver is not firmly gripped by the steering wheel.
The anti-rain and fog lights must also be turned on quickly once it rains heavily, as the sunlight fades quickly, and the car’s automatic headlights system can be slow to respond to the absence of sunlight due to clouds and rain, according to the “TUV Thuringia” agency for technical inspection of cars. .
