Whenever you are using your brakes in the rain it is always important to remember that they could slip.  What this means is that you should certainly increase the stopping distance between you and the car in front of you.  You also want to make sure that you brake a lot earlier and with a lot less force so the car behind you knows exactly what you are doing.

The rain is something that will slow you down and you should certainly make sure that you allow a lot of travel time as you will be driving at a slower pace than you are normally used to.  There will also be more traffic than what you are used to, so you want to make sure that you definitely allow yourself some more driving time.

One thing that you should take to heart is that you do not need to rush anywhere.  You want to take it slow, that way you do not get into any accidents.

Firstly, you want to make sure that whenever you are driving in the rain that you are extremely cautious and that you are very, very careful, as the rain is slick.  That does not mean that you have to go 10 miles an hour all of the time, but you do want to make sure that you are careful.

In the next blog, we are going to talk about how you can use your brakes to your advantage!

First, a jumper cable, as that will definitely be worth it when you are stuck without a car battery.  Next, a safety kit that contains things like a small meal, matches, fire sticks, gloves, hazard cones and a blanket.  That way, if you do get stuck, you will be able to survive.

Before you get on the road, you want to make sure that you get your car or truck checked over for any problems at all.  You also want to make sure that you get yourself some snow tires, as those are something that will absolutely assist you in the long run.

Next, you want to make sure that you put some extra clothes, food and beverages in your trunk along with some candles, flashlights and even some flares and a small shovel, just to ensure that if something does happen, you are prepared.
