Monsoon has finally arrived in Mumbai
Here are some key tips for you to ensure safety while driving in the rain.
Double-check the car before starting
Inspect the car thoroughly to ensure all its equipment and components are working to the optimum level.
Keep headlights on
Turning headlamps and fog lamps during rain ensures better visibility. Also, it makes your car visible to other drivers.
Drive slow and be attentive
Driving slowly helps in avoiding hydroplaning, skidding etc. Speeding can be tempting but it can be fatal
Maintain lane and windows clean
Visibility gets the most challenge during rainy weather. Hence, it is an utmost priority to keep the windshield and windows clean to ensure optimum visibility.
Don't panic, brake or turn wheels during a hydroplane
Ensure that you take your foot off the accelerator and do your best to keep the car straight till it regains traction.
Avoid waterlogged areas and find alternative routes
