The correct Braking technique when it rains

Driving the vehicle at the time of the rainy season require a separate preparation compared with driving a vehicle in the dry season. On a rainy road becomes slippery so it could cause vehicle will easily slip, skid, upside down or even fatal accident.

Moreover, if past puddles or flooding occurs, then water can enter wet brake components. To that required separate ways or techniques for braking when driving a vehicle in the rainy season.

Be careful when passing through puddles while flooding, because water can enter and soaks the brake components. Do not make sudden braking on wet roads. Be careful on the streets also decreased when it rains, you should always use low gear while crossing the road descending or entering the Chicane in order to be safe.


For cars that still use drum brakes, if the water had wet the surface of the brakes can cause the brakes do not work. Use a low gear or first gear if the car is stopped. After passing through the flood, run the car while you step on the brake pedal. Play the brake pedal so that the water is reduced and dry so the brakes can function again.


For cars already are equipped with ABS (anti-lock Braking System) then the brakes would work better because the ABS function to avoid slippage while braking. Use the parking brake when going uphill in a queue of vehicles that could cause the vehicle to stop. When the car is running again, don't do a release of clutch pedal and depress the gas suddenly. This could cause the tires skid car and capsizes to the left or to the right.


While driving on the highway in the rainy season, keep your distance and avoid braking suddenly. If forced to step on the brake, do it gradually so that when the decline in dental porsneling will get the effects of engine brake. Avoid driving with the zigzag because tires are not straight with road surface can cause the tires are not capable of splitting water completely so that the cause of the skid.


The vehicle that drove at speeds of 60-70 km/h, it can cause the car easy to slip. Much less bumpy streets, the car can move. Caution if the suspension is not working, because cars could slip. If the car is slipping, you don't need to panic. Reduce the speed of the vehicle while aided by a gradual braking.


If the car is in a State of porsneling, move the slide to positions lower with quick reaction in engine brake so that the braking rate of the vehicle is reduced and can take place gradually. Such action must also be balanced with anticipation towards the motion of the steering wheel so that the vehicles remain on his position.
