FRSC: How to Stay Safe When Driving In The Rain

Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has warned Nigerians against dangerous driving especially during this rainy season.

Officials have advised that rain reduces visibility and traction as the road becomes wet and slippery. While driving under the rain, your stopping distance may become four or more times as long as on a dry road. As a result, the following safety tips should be observed:
* Reduce your speed to reduce loss of control
* Drive in track of other vehicles ahead
* Increase your following distance
* Ensure that your headlamps are on so as to be seen by others
* Use your wipers to clean your windscreen and heater to remove mist.

If you follow these rules while driving in the rain, you are sure to have a safe, accident-free journey.
