Most experts recommend driving more slowly than usual when it is raining due to decreased visibility and the increased likelihood of skidding. However, some professional racers must drive during poor weather conditions, including heavy rain. To drive quickly, and safely, during the rain you must turn and slow your car in the proper fashion. Though this process is safe on a closed course such as a race track, it is not safe on city streets or highways.
Instructions :
1. Replace your current tires with rain tires. Replace your windshield wipers with new wipers and turn them to their maximum speed.
2. Turn your headlights on, even in well-lit conditions.
3. Drive toward the center of the road. If you are driving on a four- or six-lane road, drive in the middle lane or the lane to the far right.
4.Alter your trajectory when you turn to keep your tuns at the appropriate angle. Typically, the slip angle in the rain is between 6 and 10 degrees, meaning your tire turns 6 to 10 degrees more than normal. Turn your wheel gently. If you feel the car turning toward the wrong trajectory, correct it by straightening the wheel. Do not jerk the wheel in the opposite direction.
5. Ease off the gas when your trajectory changes. This helps slow the speed and rate of your turn. Always take your foot off the gas instead of pressing on the brake, if you do not need to stop. Pressing on the brake during the rain increases the chance of your car skidding or spinning out of control.
6. Brake gently, if you must brake, and step on the brake one to three seconds earlier than usual.
7. Return your foot to the accelerator once you straighten your wheels.
8. Tap the brake after you drive past a puddle. This helps dry off your rotors.
