IF YOUR WIPER BLADES ARE ON, THEN TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is literally, my biggest pet peeve about driving in the rain -_- And I wanted to make this entire post to tell someone about it -_- In... California... Have I ever actually mentioned I live in Ca... Well I am now, cause its a gigantic state and well, I guess its ok to mention it. In Ca, its the LAW to turn your lights on if your wipers are on, but clearly so many people either don't know or don't care. Obviously, if its night and raining you turn them on, but you need to turn them on during the day too! Because its still really hard to see your car if your lights are not on! Especially if its foggy too and omg! Like, I always yell at the people, from my car, when I see them with no lights on -_- It just... its a matter of safety people. SAFETY!!!!!
What else... That was my main thing... but oh yeah! Set aside extra time to get places because you should be more careful and driving a bit slower in the rain! Set aside more time to get where you want to go! And also, have patience and try to be calm if things go wrong because of the weather. You can't help it, so why freak out??
Get new wiper blades! Get them at least every year, or maybe even twice to three times a year if its super rainy where you are! Wiper blades are what enables you to see! Its every important to see!!
Check your tires. Make sure you have the right tires for the weather and that the pressure is good and the tread is good , because tires are pretty much the most important part on the car. They decide how efficiently your are pumping water and gripping, and they decided how quickly you stop. Tires are very important!!!
Pay attention to signs that warn of flooding and such, because you don't want to get stuck and possibly die 0_o Because its possible. If it looks deep, it probably is and just avoid it! Just avoid it!!! Also, pay attention to the weather reports and news reports. Be informed!!
What else... Oh, don't forget the defroster! Don't let your windows fog up, cause then you can't see! Oh, you should probably check your battery too... because the cold might affect it... especially if its old... this may or not be from personal experience... Ummmm... XD
What else? Now, if you have any questions on how to not hydroplane and stuff, I don't know about that... Just google that and ask professional drivers and stuff. But, don't do stupid shit that will increase the likelihood of you hydroplaning.
I can't think of much else on the top of my head... Like I said, I mainly wanted to mention the bit about the lights... Lets see... Overall, BE CAREFUL!!! But don't be afraid. Just be rational and not stupid and... yeah XD Toodles!
