Proper motoring etiquette when it is raining hard

Turn on your parklight and headlight. Do not maintain your speed before it started raining, reduce your speed right away. When Driving to puddles hold the steering wheel in the proper position and gently manuever the steering

Turn on your tail light or even the HL. Drive defensively and avoid muna makipag gitgitan. Marami pa ring ganyan.

I've come across a Sylphy with its stock 65w foglamps lit one night at CP Garcia. That's how I knew that it glares. Never used my foglamps unnecessarily ever since.

I only go as fast as I can see but leave room for emergency braking/swerving. You'll never know what might surprise you.

Always do an emergency brake test. Go fast then brake abruptly. So you can drive accordingly and adapt to your tires' grip. That's why never scrimp on tires. Nakamura ka nga sa chinese fake tires, nabangga ka naman kasi nag-slide ka. I use Continental on my sedan and Bridgestone/dunlop on light truck. Check your tires specs and get the one with highest grip (traction) grade, also max velocity, temp, expiration.

Always, Always look around. Observe your surroundings, the street you're passing by on and other vehicles.

Please don't use hazard lights in a downpour. I used to be a stupid idiot who practices that before when I was a newbie.

Safe driving!

Like he said... especially the last one
