6. Prepare for your journey.

1. Wet-weather driving demands gentle use of all the main controls — steering, clutch, brake and accelerator — and a larger allowance for errors and emergencies.



2. When you begin a journey in the rain, your shoes will be wet and liable to slip off the pedals. Scuff the soles on the rubber matting or carpeting of the car before you start the engine.



3. All drivers should regularly check that their headlights, rear lights, brake lights and turn signals are working properly.
