Wait it out. It’s not always possible but if your trip can wait during one of our Texas heavy downpours, do.
Check your equipment. That includes lights, tires and wipers to make sure they are working correctly.
Slow down, wet roads are very dangerous. Your vehicle’s reaction time is much slower when it is raining. Reduced speed is imperative in rainy weather.
Use your headlights and turn on your wipers, You can see better and others sharing the road can see you better.
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles. Slippery roads mean slower response time from you vehicle.
Watch out for standing water. Driving through standing water can cause hydroplaning to occur. Which is when you lose traction and skid across the surface of the road. Try to avoid driving in places where water has collected by changing lanes or safely steering around such areas.
