Slippery roads

Few days had experienced slippery roads due to raining cats and dogs...
I would say it is not an easy "job" to drive during rainy days especially when it's dark and raining heavily which eventually leads to flood.

Driving back using MRR2 is not a good experience because when there is rain...there will be flood which usually flooded one of the lanes...this will definitely cause jam...because cars will shift to another lane where the water level not that high...at least the tyres not submerge in the flood...

Anyway, just some notes to share while driving during heavy rain....

1. Turn on your car's head lights when it's dark (so that other driver can see your car)
2. Drive slowly especially down the slope and about to turn into junction
3. Stop slowly and gently while still in jam (because it's slippery!)
4. Do not change lane, unless is necessary (it's dangerous! other vehicles might not see your car changing lane)
5. Use signals when necessary (for changing lanes, turning junction, emergency stop at side of road)
6. Stop slowly and immediately turn on double signals (this is important especially when you experienced water splashing from other vehicles to your car's windshield, which immediately block your front view)
7. Always check your car before journey (especially to long distance journey)

Safety & Mercy Journey to all! :)

one more thing...

never turn on emergency lights when driving in the rain... it will confuse other road users, hence will lead to accidents.
