Tips for driving throguh rains !!!

funkydevil · 5th June 2008, 19:07

Hey guys,

Now that the monsoon's here, we should all be careful on how we drive.

Hence I wanted to know if there are any tips i need to keep in mind while driving through the rains as i often use the highway for travel. During the first showers hitting mumbai, i did feel my car tires loosing grip on a couple of turns i took at speeds over 70-80. This despite my car having new stock tyres.

Was it due to the oil on the highway that gets washed off from peoples cars during the first rains?? I've heard this happens.

Mods - Didnt know where to put this thread, tried searching for it and could not find one, hence created it. Please move it to where needed.
