It will help you see better on foggy or rainy days and it      will help other drivers see you.<\/li>\n<li>Increase      your following distance and watch for brake lights ahead. Never follow too      close.<\/li>\n<li>Slow      down,\u00a0it takes longer to stop in wet weather.\u00a0 Plus the faster      you drive, the greater the chances of hydroplaning.<\/li>\n<li>Drive      slowly through any puddle of uncertain depth.\u00a0 That way if it\u2019s      deeper than you thought, you can still back out.<\/li>\n<li>Never      drive through moving water if you can\u2019t see the ground through it.<\/li>\n<li>Turn on      your wipers at a good speed to keep up with the rain that is falling.<\/li>\n<li>Use      Rain-X on your car and rain will begin to bead on your car making it      easier to see out of your car and allowing rain to more easily drop off of      your car.<\/li>\n<li>Turn up      the heat or AC to your defrosters if your windows are fogging up.<\/li>\n<li>If you      lose control and hydroplane, remember to steer into the direction of the      skid which is the direction in which you are moving, not away from. This      will help control the skidding. Also, remember to brake before going      around a curve.<\/li>\n<li>If you      do drive through very deep water you run the risk of stalling your car. In      the event that your car stalls you will want to have someone pull your      vehicle out. If you drive into a flooded area your car could potentially      be swept away.<\/li>\n<li>Check      your tires regularly so that they are in good shape to handle driving in      the rain and on slick surfaces. If you do not have any tread on your tires      then you will skid easier and you could end up hydroplaning, so it\u2019s very      important that you check your tires tread regularly.<\/li>\n<li>Use      your emergency blinkers if the rain is so heavy that people may have      difficulty seeing you.<\/li>\n<li>If      possible stay off the road during thunderstorms and other violent storms.      If you are caught in a heavy downpour, a thunderstorm or violent weather,      pull over to the side of the road, put on your emergency blinkers and wait      out the storm. Listen to the radio for emergency broadcast information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driving in the rain requires a certain amount of caution because it can be very dangerous.
