|
Use your windshield wipers and turn on your low-beam headlights.
|
|
|
Use your high-beam headlights and drive more slowly than you would on a dry road.
|
|
|
Slow down and turn on your high-beam headlights.

Explanation
When driving in rainy conditions, always reduce your speed and activate your windshield wipers. Most states require that if your wipers are on due to weather, your low-beam headlights must also be on to improve visibility and help other drivers see you. Avoid using high beams in rain, fog, or snow, as the light can reflect off moisture and reduce visibility. Reduce your speed by 5 to 10 mph and take extra care when turning or changing lanes to avoid hydroplaning.
