Tips for Driving in the Rain

Summer is here and that means unexpected showers are upon us! Below we've gathered some best practices for driving in the rain. Stay safe and always be prepared.

1) Most importantly, slow down! It takes longer to make sudden adjustments in wet weather.

2) Never drive beyond the limits of visibility. At night rainy roads become especially dangerous.

3) Allow for more travel time. You should plan to drive at a slower pace than normal when the roads are wet

4) Don't use cruise control. If you hydroplane, there's the chance your car could actually accelerate.

5) Avoid flooded roads. Never drive through standing or flowing water in a road way unless you have no choice or you are able to follow someone else to judge the depth of the water.
