Question: 1 / 170

What should you do if you experience a loss of visibility due to heavy rain?

Keep driving at normal speed

Pull over to a safe area and turn on your hazard lights until the rain lets up

When experiencing a loss of visibility due to heavy rain, pulling over to a safe area and turning on your hazard lights until the rain lets up is the most prudent course of action. This choice prioritizes safety by allowing you to stop driving in dangerous conditions where you may not be able to see other vehicles, traffic signals, or road signs clearly.

By turning on your hazard lights, you signal to other drivers that you are stationary and may be in a vulnerable position, further enhancing safety. Remaining in the vehicle until conditions improve keeps you safe from potential accidents on the roadway, particularly in situations where visibility is severely compromised.

Driving at normal speed, continuing to drive with headlights on, or relying solely on windshield wipers even at high speed can be particularly hazardous decisions during heavy rain. None of these alternatives ensure the driver’s safety or the safety of others on the road in such challenging weather conditions.
