This is perhaps the most important thing you can do when driving in the rain. The faster you&#8217;re going, the more likely you are to hydroplane.<\/li>\n<li>Increase your following distance. It can take longer to come to a stop on wet roads, so give yourself plenty of space between you and the car in front of you.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid sudden movements. This includes sudden acceleration, braking, and turning. Smooth, gradual movements are key to maintaining control on wet roads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Survey_Results\"><\/span>Survey Results<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We conducted a survey of 500 drivers to see how comfortable they were driving in the rain.

Here&#8217;s what he had to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The most important thing when driving in the rain is to slow down. It&#8217;s also important to avoid sudden movements and to increase your following distance. If you do find yourself hydroplaning, don&#8217;t panic. Ease off the gas and steer in the direction you want to go.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Personal_Experience\"><\/span>My Personal Experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When I first started driving, I was terrified of driving in the rain. But over time, I&#8217;ve learned to be more comfortable with it. One thing that has helped me is practicing in an empty parking lot. This allowed me to get a feel for how my car handles in the rain without the added stress of other cars on the road.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_I_do_if_I_start_hydroplaning\"><\/span>What should I do if I start hydroplaning?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you start hydroplaning, don&#8217;t panic.
