Driving in the wet

Top tips to stay safe in wet conditions

Tip 1: Choose the right tyres.

"A wet road surface can be dangerous. Which means you need a tyre that provides optimal performance in wet conditions. Uniroyal provides excellent protection from aquaplaning on wet roads, in corners and on standing water."

Tip 2: Use your head when braking.

"Rain increases the risk of having a road accident. You need to think more about braking, especially in cars without ABS. If your wheels lock up on a wet road surface, quickly release the brake and correct the steering."

Tip 3: Keep your distance.

"Distances from other vehicles that may be safe during dry conditions no longer apply when it rains. On wet roads, maintain a larger distance so that you are not endangering yourself and others unnecessarily."

Tip 4: Beware of aquaplaning.

"Water can become an unpredictable enemy both on straight roads and in corners. Only one thing can help: use Uniroyal rain tyres for protection against aquaplaning."

Tip 5: Watch out for fallen leaves.

"You should exercise particular caution in poor weather when the roads are covered in wet leaves. A romantic, tree-lined road can quickly become treacherously slippery. Only a good quality rain tyre will prevent you from skidding in dangerous situations."
