Slow down when the road is slippery in the rain

When driving in rainy weather, even the best performing cars can cause "hydroplaning", and in this state

The friction between the tires and the road surface is lost, making it difficult for the car to control

and put themselves in danger

How can it be prevented?

1. Reduce the speed of the vehicle. As long as you drive in rainy weather, you must reduce your speed, once the speed is faster, the greater the risk of losing control; 2. Avoid emergency braking. Especially after a "hydroplaning", many drivers slam on the brakes due to nervousness. The correct way is: try to control the speed of the car, slowly lift the accelerator pedal, hold the direction, and wait for the speed to slow down; 3. Expand the distance between vehicles. Since it is easy to slide sideways and the braking distance becomes longer in rainy weather, do not drive side by side with other vehicles, and at the same time increase the distance between the front and rear vehicles.
