Few driving hazards are more unnerving than an unexpected tire blowout. However, many tire blowouts are preventable if the driver takes some simple precautions.
Regular tire inspections and timely maintenance are the keys to avoiding tire blowouts. Before hitting the road, especially on a long trip, check tire pressure with a standard tire gauge and visually inspect each tire for bumps, weak spots and other signs of wear.
The best way to avoid an accident in the rain is to have a grip on safety protocols before you even start driving. If your tires are checked regularly and your headlights are working, you are already in great shape for staying safe in rain. You should also make sure that your windshield wipers are functioning properly.
Once you are behind the wheel, you need to remain in control of the car by taking off cruise control and reducing your speed.
