SAFE-DRIVING TIPS WHEN IT IS RAINING !!! GOOD VISION IN A DOWNPOUR How to achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour. We are not sure why it is so effective; just try this method when it rains heavily. This method was told by a Police friend who had experienced and confirmed it. It is useful...even driving at night. Most motorists would turn on HIGH or FASTEST SPEED of the wipers during heavy downpour, yet the visibility in front of the windshield is still bad........ In the event you face such a situation, just put on your SUNGLASSES..... And miracles! All of a sudden, your visibility in front of your windshield is perfectly clear, as if there is no rain. You still see the drops on the windshield, but not the sheet of rain falling. You can see where the rain bounces off the road. It works to eliminate the "blindness" from passing cars. Or the "kickup" if you are following a car in the rain. NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON. If the cruise control is on, your car will begin to hydro-plane when the tyres lose contact with the road, and your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed making your car take off like an aeroplane. NOTE: Some vehicles (like the Toyota Sienna Limited XLE) will not allow you to set the cruise control when the windshield wipers are on.
