Explanation
Heavy rain will affect your ability to see. When driving in low visibility conditions, you should drive with lights on low beam. High beam headlights will reflect back off the heavy rain and impair visibility even more. Reduce your speed and make sure you can stop within the distance lighted by your headlights. Do not drive using only your parking lights.
