Safe Driving When Rainy Season

Rainfall began often, lately. Do not let bad weather is to disrupt your routine. Well, for users of the car here are some tips when driving in the rain delivered by the Garda Oto.

speed
Maintain a steady pace, according to ambient conditions and safe visibility. Notice the way we want to pass, if there's a puddle of water or the other.

Engine speed (RPM)
When the rain and the road uphill, do not be too deep pressing the gas pedal, always use low engine speed to maintain optimum wheel traction. For gasoline engines, keep the rounds at 2500 rpm and 1800 rpm for diesel. This is done so that the car was slidding.

light
Discharge times of heavy rain, do not hesitate to turn the main lights (day time) or small lights to raise awareness around our vehicle. Do not use the hazards! These lights will only interfere with other drivers, especially if you want to turn. Direction of the car unpredictable because Sein did not work. These lights are only used in emergency situations!

brake
Note the brake distance. When it rains, the car needs a longer distance to be slowed down its speed. If it usually takes two seconds distance with the vehicle in front, try to multiply two to four seconds to extend the braking distance.

pool
Do not drag in puddles (thin ones) in order to avoid the effect of "hidroplaning" where there is no traction between tires because of a layer of asphalt with water. If this happens, the car may lose control and lives at stake!

Also avoid standing water whose height one inch from automobile exhaust. If it remains desperate, the water would make the strike and damage the engine.
