    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.

    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.

    Btw, my response is to address the "dilemma" presented by ghosthunter. Personally, I don't use the hazard lights during heavy rain.

    Nope. Simply NOT using the hazard lights while in that situation would make the problem solved. That would also make clear to everyone around you that you intend to drive straight if your signal lights aren't flashing and you are planning to turn when they are blinking. What is more simpler than that?

    Di ako agree dito...... ibig mo bang sabihin everytime na mag-change lane u have turn off your hazzard light? then after u change the lane turn on back the hazzard light? hmmp Ang mas maganda huwag ka ng gumamit ng hazzard light just turn on your headlight or even just your fog lamp is enought. Wala namang problem sa likod mo na di ka makita. Just drive in safe speed kung sa hiway ka naman punta ka na lang sa slow lane para mas safe kasi may mga driver na kahit ang lakas ng ulan ay paspas pa rin sila.... hayaan mo sila sa fast lane.... kung sa lakas ng ulan at zero ang visiblity tumabi ka saka mo i-turn on ang hazzard light... mag relax at kumain ng sitsirya... hehehe huwag kalimutan na mag baon ng bote...baka kasi mapaihi...... hehehe

    sometimes headlights are not sufficient for us to be visible to other cars,especially in Baguio City, thats why we installed fog lights. if you're cruising below normal speed, I think you are considered to be hazard na.

    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
