Slowing down does not make the rain go away, it just gives your brain more time to concentrate on your field of vision. :rolleyes: But yes, you should be driving slower in the rain particularly on fast roads such as motorways, to avoid aquaplaning! Well that basically what ive put in my post! i never said that the rain went away, i said braking distances will increase and visibillity is reduced when it rains hard. therefore you slow down if you cant see. you wouldnt speed on a motorway in bad fog would you?
