    Madali lang naman yan eh.........

    Magwiper ka ng magwiper :rofl:

    Kidding aside, wag ka magdrive ng masyadong mabilis kasi umuulan.

    Uhm, kung sobrang sobrang sobrang lakas ng ulan. It's better to turn on your headlights.....

    When it's raining hard and visibility is limited, DO NOT use your hazard lights. Just turn on your headlights.

    Using your hazard lights while driving would make yourself a bigger hazard because you cannot signal if you are changing lanes or turning. Also to a car behind you, your car would look like it's trying to signal to change lanes which would result in slowing down traffic further.

    When visibility is reduced, turn on your headlights.

    Slow down when it's wet, esp when it has just started raining ... the muck on the road hasn't been washed away yet so it is much slippier.

    Increase the distance between your vehicle and that in front of you. The braking distance is at least double on wet roads than it is when dry.

    When you feel your steering become unresponsive, ease off the accelerator pedal ang gradually slow down.

    Keep your wipers and windshield in top condition.

    Take extra care around bikers, cyclists and pedestrians.

    Usually when it rains hard I turn on the headlights and avoid changing lanes too much to avoid unnecessary accidents I stick to my lane.

    also on really hard down poor, I have experienced almost zero visibility and decided to park my rig at a shoulder and weather it out until visibility is acceptable. it can not hurt to be cautious, safety first

    sa akin naman

    increased distance tapos lagi check sa preno kasi me nangyari na sa akin dati na hindi kumapet yung preno nung nabasa sa baha

    pag gabi na slowdown ng sobra pag me nakafog lights na kasalubong kasi yung sahig nagrereflect tendency ay masilaw ka parang brinight ka ba kahit hindi sinasadya

    wag mgbribright kasi pag nasilaw kasalubong mo baka mabunggo ka pa niya hehe

    ingat rin sa pagchange ng lanes kasi pag basa ang sideview minsan hindi nakakakita ng dark objects

    lagi dapat nasa kondisyon ang gulong bad kondisyon ng gulong eh equals bad traction sa ulan

    dumaan sa service road kasi grabe trapik sa slex pag naulan. hindi joke lang hehe

    yun po mga ginagawa ko pag rainy:P

    To make their intentions known to drivers trailing them while their hazard lights are on during heavy downpour, they can simply turn off the hazard lights and activate the turn signals before making a move. Problem solved.

    Don't really agree with you here. For me turning on the headlights will do na.
