Rain Hazards
Driving during a heavy rainstorm can be a frightening experience. Motorists can find themselves with an extremely diminished view of the road, who they are near, and where major landmarks are located. There is also a dangerous loss of traction due to the slipperiness of the rain water on a vehicle’s tires. As a result, rain is among the most common dangers that drivers will experience on the road.
