Driving safely is of utmost importance during the rains. Roads are slippery and more accident prone at this time. Here are a few tips to help your driving.
The first thing you need to ensure is to check your vehicle. Make sure that your tires are working fine and the wipers are properly functioning, headlights and tail lights have to be in working position.
Traffic tends to get worse in the rains and you may end up reaching late at your desired destination. So leave early. Also, while you are driving make sure you keep enough distance from the car in front.
Whenever it’s raining too heavily and the visibility gets poor, get off the road and stop driving. Accidents are most common during these times. Try not to drive around areas that have been waterlogged. Also, during Monsoon it is important to be smooth with your car controls. Do not put brakes or accelerate suddenly.
Keep your lights on and make yourself visible on the road to avoid accidents. Avoid areas where there is accumulation of water, there could be an uncovered manhole or a pothole which may prove hazardous to you.
