Tips to avoid accidents due to rain
In the face of the events registered in different parts of the country, it is important to remember the necessary safety measures to avoid accidents while driving. Maria Fernanda Tejada, Ecommerce sub-manager of Vivir Seguros, explained that in addition to having valid SOAT insurance, you must:
- Reduce speed: On wet roads, braking capacity is reduced, so it is important not to drive at excessive speeds.
- Check the brakes: Before driving, make sure the brakes are in good condition so that you have a better chance of stopping and avoiding an accident.
- Turn on the lights: Rain reduces visibility, so having the headlights on can reduce the possibility of a collision.
- Keep your distance: No matter how fast you want to arrive, if it's not safe. In the rain, we must be much more alert to distances and avoid making sudden movements, as the car can "skid".
