1. Avoid Sudden Braking
🌧️ Wet roads can be slippery — sudden braking may cause skidding or loss of control.
Slow down early and keep a safe distance from the car in front.
2. Check the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
🧩 Make sure your ABS is working properly — it helps prevent wheel lock-up and skidding.
3. Maintain Tire Grip
🛞 Worn tire treads reduce braking performance, especially on wet roads.
Regularly check your tire pressure and tread depth to stay safe.
4. Avoid Driving Fast Through Puddles
💧 Driving too fast through standing water can cause aquaplaning,
making your tires suddenly lose traction and your brakes ineffective.
5. Watch Out for Other Road Users
🚗👀 Besides your own car, stay alert for pedestrians and other drivers.
Visibility drops during rain — remember to turn on your headlights for better vision.
⚠️ If your brakes feel soft or your stopping distance increases, get them checked right away.
Regularly inspecting your brake pads, discs, and fluid for wear or aging
helps keep your braking system in top condition.
