Top Practices To Drive Safely When It’s Raining

1. Drive At A Slower Speed

If you’re like most of us living in KL, speed is always key. People want to get to places fast and quickly, whether it’s driving their kids to school or rushing to the office in the early mornings. But when it’s raining, we’d encourage you to slow down just a little bit. Your driving experience doesn’t always have to go up to 100 miles per hour!Sometimes, it’s safer to just mind your speedometer, to make sure you and your passengers are safe. Speed is something you can control, so why not start with that today?

 

2. Turn On Your Headlights

Sometimes we might forget to turn on our headlights when driving at night. So, the best thing you can do to be safe, is to make sure your headlights are working properly before driving out in the heavy rain.

The key is to be prepared and always maintain your headlights. So that you won’t be caught off guard when it’s raining heavily. When you’re always maintaining your car, you will be prepared and when it rains, all you have to do is just flick on your headlights and drive safely.

 

3. Keep A Safe Distance From The Car In Front

In KL, we often like to drive fast, speed fast, almost like we’re living in a Fast & Furious movie. But that’s not all. As KL drivers, we tend to drive very closely to the car in front of us.This is because we want to make sure that other cars coming from the left or right side won’t be able to “snatch” or overtake our spot. But driving like this isn’t always helpful, especially when you have minors or elderly people in the car. You want to prioritise their safety first.

So, the best way to do this is to apply the 9 seconds rule that you learned in your driving exams. Keeping a safe distance prevents you from hitting the front car, especially when they apply their brakes unexpectedly.

 

4. Try Using Brembo Brake Pads

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you haven’t heard of Brembo, you’re probably wondering what are the special features of this brand. Well, that’s what we’re here to explain. Using advanced technology, Brembo brake pads provide the driver with maximum braking force, so that it ensures that your car will stop immediately on the spot, as soon as you apply your brakes.

Other than that, Brembo brake pads are also very long-lasting, especially the Brembo Xtra Brake Pads. In fact, that’s what people love most about Brembo. It is durable enough to last for a long period of time. This means that you can avoid the hassle of changing your brake pads so frequently. And this is really worth it, especially because it is now a heavy rain season in Malaysia.
