3 tips for driving in the rain

The Law Offices of Miller & Bicklein, P.C. |

The weather changes often in Texas, which means you have to be ready to deal with a host of things when you drive. One of the more dangerous types of weather for drivers is rain.

Driving in the rain is dangerous because of the slickness of the wet roads. You should ensure that you’re driving safely; however, you’re still at the mercy of other drivers on the roads. Consider these tips if you know you’ll have to drive in the rain.

Plan ahead

You have to plan ahead for driving in the rain. If you know it’s supposed to rain, you should leave a bit early so you aren’t trying to rush to get to your destination.

Avoid tailgating

Tailgating in the rain won’t give you time to stop if the vehicle in front of you slams on the brakes. Give other vehicles around you as much room as you can so you have a chance to react if anything goes awry.

Turn on the vehicle’s lights

Having your vehicle’s lights on makes it easier for other drivers to see you. Ensure you’re using the low beam lights because high beams will reflect off the wet surfaces and make it much more difficult to see your vehicle.

Crashes on wet roads can be very serious. Victims may need considerable medical care for their injuries. If the cause of the wreck was another driver’s negligence, the victims may choose to seek compensation for the financial damages they’re facing. Texas law limits how long you have for these matters, so don’t delay getting your case moving forward.
