During a rain shower, the road surface is most slippery during the first few minutes, because the oils haven&rsquo;t been washed away yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some experts even claim that roadways are most slippery after a drizzle in a dry spell because it takes longer to get rid of the oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Drive Safely In the Rain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Driving habits that work under dry conditions might not be ideal during inclement weather conditions. So before you cruise along the highway on a rainy day, you might want to read some of the tips below to ensure you stay safe even during a downpour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slow Down<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/car-travelling-a-slippery-road-1024x591.jpg\" alt=\"car travelling a slippery road\" class=\"wp-image-78146\" width=\"1024\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/car-travelling-a-slippery-road-1024x591.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/car-travelling-a-slippery-road-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/car-travelling-a-slippery-road-768x443.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/car-travelling-a-slippery-road-1536x886.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/car-travelling-a-slippery-road-150x87.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/car-travelling-a-slippery-road.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Wet roads can cause tires to lose traction, so it&rsquo;s best to slow down when you&rsquo;re driving.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Wet roads can cause tires to lose traction, so it&rsquo;s best to slow down when you&rsquo;re driving. Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you in case your vehicle skids to avoid any accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Conscious Of Your Braking Habits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your vehicle&rsquo;s brakes can engage quickly under dry conditions, but it&rsquo;s a different story when the roads are wet. Slamming the brakes on wet roads can cause your vehicle to skid, increasing the risk of crashing. The brakes can also get wet, which will reduce their stopping power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&rsquo;t Use Cruise Control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using cruise control when it&rsquo;s raining can be problematic, especially when you&rsquo;re hydroplaning. This might cause your vehicle to accelerate and make you lose control of the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Your Headlights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Storms can limit visibility, so if you&rsquo;re driving through one, it&rsquo;s a good idea to use your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/headlight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"headlights\">headlights<\/a>.
