No time to read a long-winded BLOnG? Welcome to the Three-Second-Stop mini-Blog.

Today’s Three Seconds: Rain and Wet Roads

Here are some quick tips for driving in wet weather:

• Slow down.
• Use your low-beams headlights.
• Drive in the tracks left by the vehicle ahead of you.
• Be as smooth as possible.
• Leave extra space to brake.
• Slow down through deep water.

It takes the average car twice as long to stop on a wet road as on a dry road!
