 4 Rain Driving Tips -

Driving safely in the rain begins before you can even turn the ignition on. There are 4 main components of

 the car you have to check and double-check before you can get going. Here is what you need to know:

Tyres: 

Possibly the most important part of your car when you decide to drive in the rain. If your tyres are worn out, they are not only going to put your life in danger but the lives of other people on the road as well. The first thing to do is check that your tyres have enough tread to get a proper grip on the road – even though you might be driving at a slower speed than normal. One way to see if you have enough tread is to stick a Rs. 10 coin into the tread and if you cannot see the gold ring, your tyres are fine. If you can see the gold ring, it’s time to invest in a set of new tyres. Also, you should check the recommended air pressure for your tyres listed in the manual and maintain it before you leave for your destination.

Lights:

 Normally, light travels through water quite easily. You can check this out by putting a flashlight on one side of a fish tank and see it come out the other side. However, things get a little trickier when it comes to rain – especially heavy rain. The continuous flow and inconsistent direction change make it very difficult to actually see, even when the lights are on. So, always check if your lights are in proper working condition before you start driving. Switch on your headlights, taillights, brake lights, DRLs, and fog lights to ensure that they all work. It is also advisable to keep your cabin light on when you’re driving in extremely heavy rain and visibility is low.

Wipers:

 Your car’s windshield wipers go into full gear when the monsoons arrive so it is important that they are functioning properly. Some car models also come with a wiper for the rear windshield as well – so check if that is working as well. The washers that spray water and cleaning liquid onto your windshield can often get clogged with dirt and you should clean that out before leaving. If your wipers are not cleaning properly or need to be replaced, you can find a genuine pair for about Rs. 500 – 1,000 depending on the car you drive.

Air-Conditioner:

 While the AC is extremely helpful during the scorching Indian summer, it can also be crucial during the monsoon. You are most likely to drive your vehicle with the windows rolled up during heavy rainfall which reduced air circulation inside the cabin. The difference in pressure and temperature from inside and outside causes the windows and windshields to fog up. A fogged-up windshield can be very dangerous for driving as we all know. Turning on the AC and keeping it at the same temperature outside ensures that the windows do not fog up. Also, the AC brings fresh air into the cabin and circulates it so that you don’t have to breathe stale circulated air.
