Be careful! For those of you who are driving... Check below!
Driving in a wet sometimes comes with many obstacles. With limited visibility, the vehicle is prone to get problems and there are also safety issues. Therefore, here we compile 5 safety tips for driving in the wet season.
1. Check All Vehicle Lights
It’s natural that the sky gets darker when it’s raining and the visibility gets lower. It is better to turn the lights on because it’s not just going to help your visibility, but also makes you more visible to other vehicles. So check the lights of your vehicle whether it works properly or not.
2. Check the Air Pressure of The Tyres
Well-conditioned air pressure and rain groove help minimize a slip. If the pressure is below the recommendation, fill it. Also avoid using old tires, especially when it’s raining because the risk of slipping is getting higher. When the wet season comes, checking the air pressure of the tires more frequently is a good idea.
