π§οΈ Raining again? Your stopping distance just doubled.
At 60 mph on a dry road, the Highway Code says you'll need around 73 metres to stop. In the wet, it's at least double β longer than a football pitch.
Before you head off this weekend:
π§ Keep a 4-second gap, not 2
π§ Aquaplaning? Ease off, don't brake hard, steer straight
π§ Can't see how deep the water is? Don't drive through it
π§ Check your tyres (3mm+ is best) and use dipped headlights in heavy rain
If the weather still gets the better of you, whether you've skidded off, been caught in a flood or your car just won't start, don't stand in the rain waiting. We'll get you and your vehicle home safely π»
