Defensive driving is crucial during the rainy season to ensure the safety of everyone on the road.


Here are some basics of defensive driving you should keep in mind.

1. Slow down: Wet roads can be slippery and increase braking distance. Slowing down gives you more time to react and adjust to changing road conditions.
2.keep your distance: Maintain a safe following distance between you and the car in front of you, as wet roads can make it harder to stop suddenly.
3.Check your tires: Make sure your tires have adequate thread depth and are properly inflated to ensure good traction on wet roads.
4.Use your lights: Turn on your headlights to increase your visibility and make it easier for other drivers to see you.
5.Watch out for standing water: Avoid driving through large puddles or flooded areas, as they can cause your car to hydroplane or stall.
6.Keep your windshield clear: Make sure your windshield wipers are working properly and use your aircon to keep your windows clear of fog and condensation. Or a towel to wipe
7.Stay alert: Pay attention to the road and other drivers, and be prepared to react to unexpected situations.
8.Avoid distractions: Don’t use your phone or engage in other distracting activities while driving, as you need to be fully focused on the road in wet conditions.
