Safety driving tips in the rain: how to do safe driving in heavy rain, know the important precautions
These days, the monsoon is very noisy in India. In many regions of the country – there are heavy rains in big cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bhopal and Kolkata. Although this rain has relieved people from heat, drivers’ problems have also increased due to water filling on the roads. The traffic jams, the stopping of the trains, the dysfunction of the engine and the road accidents have increased multiple patterns due to the water task.
In such a situation, driving in the rain can be difficult, but taking precautions, you can protect yourself and protect your car. Let us know some important suggestions that can make driving safe in the monsoon:
1. Avoid frog paths
If there is full water on a path, try to go through another route – if it is a little longer. The water can be moved to the engine when drained with deep waters, causing a hydrostatic lock and the engine can deteriorate completely. This repair can be very expensive.

2. Know the depth of your car
Each vehicle has a limited water capacity to drive in limited water:
– Hatchback and sedan: up to 300 mm
– SUV: up to 500-600 mm
Do not try to cross the deep waters that. This information is on the Manuel site or the vehicle manufacturer’s website.
3. Slowly run at speed first
If there is a compulsion to go through a water commitment, then keep the car at first speed and drive slowly. Do not make sudden acceleration or braking changes. This will maintain the stable vehicle and the water will not enter the engine.
4. Do not start the closed train in the water
If the car stops in the water, do not try to start it again and again. This can cause heavy losses for the engine. It would be preferable for you to call road assistance or the TooNG service.
5. Keep the CA closed, lightly open the windows
Keep the alternating current in the rain leads to more loading on the engine. Keep the air conditioning and open the windows a little so that the ventilation remains and do not frost on the glass.
6. Fog lamps and risk light on
Visibility decreases heavy rain. In such a situation, the maintenance of Zajard lights and fog lights will be able to know your car and the possibility of conflict will reduce.
7. Do not forget to dry the brakes
After getting out of the water, press the brake slightly and dry them. This will once again bring the normal braking system.
8. Check the tire
The tire should have the right amount of air and the depth of trade should be sufficient. There is a risk of aquaplanning (vehicle sliding) when there is too much air or more.
9. Use the required accessories
These accessories must be in the car to keep the car safe and clean during the rainy season:
– Rubber carpet
– Waterproof seat cover
– Door screw
– Bodywork coverage (for open parking)
10. Have the electrical system checked
Battery, wiring and fuses can be affected due to humidity. These problems are more observed in the old trains. Continue to serve regularly and also get an anti-repos coating.
11. Keep GPS and emergency applications installed
It is possible to wander during the rainy season. So keep the GPS in the phone and keep an emergency application such as the road assistance application.
The most important thing when driving in the rain is restraint and understanding. It is best to stop a little, take a long way or take care, rather than become the victim of an accident. The next time you drive in the rain, keep these things in mind so that the trip remains safe and comfortable.
