Simple steps motorists must take when driving in the rain
> When visibility is down, slow down, be attentive and up the distance
> Increase the distance between vehicles to a minimum of 5 seconds
> Consider longer breaking distances if road surface is wet or slippery
> Turn on the lights: Low beam headlights, front and rear fog lights
> In rain, reduce your speed to avoid hydroplaning
> Use your windscreen wipers properly (and maintain them properly!)
> Concentrate and do not get distracted by your passengers, phone or other things
> Listen to radio for traffic updates
> Care for others, especially for 'weaker' traffic participants like motorcycle riders, cyclists and pedestrians
> Ask your co-travellers to help keep an eye out for oncoming cars and obstacles on the road
> Stay in your lane and don't drift.
