How to Drive in the Rain

Keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times.
Eliminate distractions; put away your cell phone, turn down the radio, tune out people talking, etc.
Keep six car lengths between you and the car ahead, and use extra caution when driving near bikes and trucks.
Maintain a safe speed. In general, you should reduce your speed by 10 mph for each level you increase your windshield wiper speed.
Avoid flooded roads. Deep water can stall your engine and even cause your vehicle to float.
Drive in the middle lanes, because water is usually deeper in the outside lanes.
Drive in the tracks of the vehicles ahead of you.
Be careful around large trucks and buses. Donâ€™t follow too closely; spray from their large tires can hit your windshield and temporarily obscure your vision. Pass with caution, but get around these large vehicles quickly and safely.
Watch for brake lights ahead.
If heavy rain is making it difficult to see, drive to a safe place and wait until visibility improves
