Rainy Day Driving Not A Concern
Searching for a Ford Flex Jacksonville buyers rely on Mike Davidson Florida Mercury. Plus, with a wide selection of New Trucks Jacksonville consumers will tell you it is no wonder that Mike Davidson Ford is a name you can trust.
Scared of driving in the rain? Mike Davidson Ford wants to help drivers and so the Jacksonville FL dealer has compiled this list of summer driving advice for rainy situations.
As with most vehicle situations, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure. The easiest way to bypass an accident on a rainy road is to make certain the vehicle is safe for the trip.
Keep a close eye on your tire pressure. All four tires should be equally inflated to the proper] levels. Even a single pound of pressure inequality can have a serious effect on handling and braking in wet conditions. Replace any tire that is wearing thin or balding on the edges.
To be extra safe have the suspension, brakes and rear end examined by a certified mechanic for correct operation. All these parts work together to create a smooth and predictable ride. If there are any handling problems on dry roads, know that they will be worsened on a wet day.
A good set of windshield wiper blades is an easy way to guarantee safe driving in atrocious weather. The higher-end blades are great for snow and mud, but OEM replacements are more than capable for the rain. A chemical treatment like Rain-X is a great additional measure to keep a clear view of the road despite the weather.
Finally check that all of the blinkers, headlights and brake lights are operative. Bulbs are not expensive, so replace them in together for safe and easy driving. Hazy lenses can be treated with a assortment of products available from any auto parts store, and rubbing compound works well if nothing else is available to clear-up old lenses.
With the vehicle equipped for the road, consider polishing driving habits once the rain starts pouring. First off, slow down. As clear as that seems, many drivers keep the pedal down even when it is pouring. Driving is dangerous enough as it is, don’t make it worse by speeding in the rain.
Also, learn to brake and steer in sequence instead of together. In other words brake first then steer. This keeps the vehicle’s weight centered over the tires and improves handling.
Lastly, have the courage to pull over and wait out the storm if conditions worsen. There is no shame in being a few minutes late because of self-preservation.
