"Driving in the rain? Here are some essential tips to keep you safe on the road: 1. Slow down: Reduce your speed and increase following distance to give yourself more time to react to changing road conditions. 2. Turn on headlights: Improve visibility for yourself and other drivers by turning on your headlights, even during daylight hours. 3. Avoid cruise control: Keep full control of your vehicle by avoiding cruise control, which can increase the risk of hydroplaning. 4. Stay centered: Drive in the center lanes of the road, as water tends to pool in the outside lanes. 5. Brake gently: Apply brakes gently and early to avoid skidding on wet roads. If you start to skid, ease off the brakes and steer in the direction you want to go. 6. Watch for hydroplaning: If you feel your vehicle hydroplaning (losing traction with the road), ease off the gas pedal and steer straight until you regain control. 7. Defog windows: Keep your windows clear by using defrosters or air conditioning to prevent fogging. 8. Be cautious at intersections: Approach intersections with caution, as wet roads can make it difficult to stop quickly. 9. Stay informed: Check weather forecasts before you travel and consider postponing your trip if conditions are severe. 10. Stay focused: Avoid distractions and stay focused on the road, as driving in the rain requires extra attention and concentration. Stay safe out there! #RainyDayDriving #SafetyTips #HSE"
