Heavy Rain

When it first starts to rain is when roads are the most slippery. The oil and dust haven't had a chance to wash away, so slow down at the first sign of precipitation.

During a heavy rain your windshield can become overloaded with water even when your wipers are working hard. If you can't see a safe distance ahead, pull off the road. Try to find a safe place to park, like a rest area of lot. If the roadside is the only option, pull over as far as you can, leave your headlights on and turn on your emergency flashers.
