Tips for Driving Safely in the Rain Compton Sheriff’s Station cautions that during initial rain, roads can be the most slippery. According to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA), the first 10 minutes after the rain begins are the most dangerous because the rain mixes with oil from motor vehicles and oil from new asphalt resulting in a slippery roadway. Here are some driving safety tips to help you weather through the storms:... 1. Slow down. You must never drive faster than is safe for present conditions, regardless of the posted speed limit. 2. Beware of Hydroplaning - if you start to hydroplane, gently ease off of the accelerator and steer straight until you gain control. 3. Turn on your headlights - California law states that headlights are required not only in darkness but also when your wipers are in continuous use, or visibility is less than 1,000 feet. 4. Maintain a Safe Distance - In wet driving conditions, allow extra distance in following other vehicles. 5. Tire Safety - Check your tire tread. Good tire tread means better traction for wet surfaces. Also, check your tire pressure and make sure it is correct for each tire. 6. Stay Alert - Avoid distractions such as using your cell phones, never text when driving, and keep your eyes on the road at all times.
