When driving in the rain… - Allow for more travel time and drive at a slower pace than normal, as heavy rains, mixed with the buildup of oil and grease on our roads, will lead to extremely slick driving conditions... - Brake earlier and with less force, and do not use cruise control - Stay toward the middle of the road and never attempt to cross running water... - After crossing a puddle, tap your brakes lightly to dry off some of the water on your rotors - Keep your headlights on, defog your windows and watch out for pedestrians - If you start to hydroplane, slowly release the gas pedal until the car regains traction—never brake suddenly or jerk the wheel - If you can’t see the road or car in front of you, pull over immediately and wait until visibility is good
