Whether it is a sprinkle or a heavy downpour, rainy conditions affect visibility and the way your vehicle handles on the road.
- Slow down!
- Keep both hands on the wheel and avoid distractions
- Allow extra space between vehicles giving you and the vehicles behind you time to react
- Turn on headlights
- Use your windshield wipers
- Avoid heavy braking
- Ventilate your vehicle (e.g. vent, defroster, crack your window, etc.)
- Do not drive through standing water
- Double check your vehicle's equipment (e.g. tires, headlights, taillights, windshield wipers, etc.)
- Watch for pedestrians and bicyclists
