HEADING OUT DURING A DOWNPOUR?

FORD PHILIPPINES SHARES FOUR TIPS TO DRIVE SAFELY DURING THE RAINY SEASON

- 

The rainy season has started, which means drivers need to be extra careful on the road because of challenging conditions like flooding, slippery roads, and reduced driver visibility.

Leading automotive manufacturers like Ford equip their cars with safety features that are useful when driving amid a heavy downpour. Here are four tips for drivers to ensure safety on the road during this time of the year:

1. Check your Wipers: Having a clear vision of the road during a storm is essential. It allows you to respond quickly and maneuver the vehicle in the right direction at ease when needed. Always check your wipers and remove any debris that could potentially scratch your windshield before you leave. Check the condition of the wiper blades as well and if these need replacing to ensure your wipers are in top shape to clear rainwater.
