Some Other Rainy Weather Tips

• Besides slowing down, allow some extra

following distance. And be especially

careful when you pass another vehicle.

Allow yourself more clear room ahead, and

be prepared to have your view restricted

by road spray.

• Have good tires with proper tread depth.

See Tires on page 435.

City Driving

One of the biggest problems with city streets is

the amount of traffic on them. Watch out for what

the other drivers are doing and pay attention

to traffic signals.

Here are ways to increase your safety in city

driving:

• Know the best way to get to where you are

going. Get a city map and plan your trip

into an unknown part of the city just as you

would for a cross-country trip.

• Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross

most large cities. You will save time and

energy. See Freeway Driving on page 351.

• Treat a green light as a warning signal.

A traffic light is there because the corner is

busy enough to need it. When a light

turns green, and just before you start to move,

check both ways for vehicles that have not

cleared the intersection or may be running the

red light.
