How to Stay Safe Driving in Spring Rain

🌧️ How to Stay Safe Driving in Spring Rain

Spring showers bring unpredictable roads. Rain isn’t just wet—it can be downright hazardous. Here are steps to help you stay safe:

🌧️ Rain‑Ready Tips

  • Windshield wipers: If they streak or chatter, time for a replacement.
  • Tire tread depth: We recommend a minimum of 4/32” tread. Higher for hydroplaning prevention.
  • Brakes: Wet conditions demand efficient stopping. If travel distance seems longer, it may be time for a check.
  • Lights: Headlamp and brake-light checks improve visibility—both for you and for other drivers.
  • Safe driving habits: Slow down entering puddles, avoid hard braking, and increase following distance by at least 50%.
