GOOD VISION IN A DOWNPOUR

GOOD VISION IN A DOWNPOUR.

How to achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour. We are

 not sure why it is so effective; Just try this method when it rains heavily. 

This method was told by a Police friend who had experienced & confirmed it.

It is useful...even driving at night.

 Most of the motorists would turn wind shield wipers on 'HIGH' or on the 

 'FASTEST SPEED' during heavy downpour, yet the visibility in front of the

 windshield is still bad. In the event you face such a situation, just put on your

'SUNGLASSES' and miracles!  All of a sudden, your visibility in front of your

 windshield is perfectly clear, as if there is no rain.

 Make sure you always have a pair of SUNGLASSES in your car. You are not

 only helping yourself to drive safely with good vision, but also might save

 your friend's life by giving him this idea. Try it yourself and share it with

 your friends...!!! Amazingly, you'll still see the drops on the windshield, but 

not the sheet of rain falling. You'll also see where the rain bounces off the 

road. Wearing sunglasses works to eliminate the "blindness" from passing

 cars. Or the "kickup" if you are following a car in the rain. They ought to

 teach this little tip in driver's training. It really does work. This is a good 

warning. I wonder how many people knew about this??? 

Another good tip:

A 36 year old female had an accident several weeks ago. It was raining,

though not excessively when her car suddenly began to hydro-plane and 

literally flew through the air. She was not seriously injured but very 

stunned at the sudden occurrence!When she explained to the Police Officer

 what had happened, he told her something that every driver should know - 

NEVER - EVER 'DRIVE' IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON.'

She how-ever, thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control 

& maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain. But the Police Officer told

 her that if the cruise control is on, your car will in fact begin to hydro-plane.

 When the tires lose contact with the road, your car will automatically 

accelerate to a higher rate of speed, making you take off like an aeroplane.

She told the Officer that was exactly what had occurred. The Officer said; 

 'This warning should be listed, on the driver's seat sun-visor - 'NEVER USE

 THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE ROAD IS WET OR ICY' Along with the

 airbag warning. 'We tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and drive a

 safe speed - but; 'We don't tell them to use the cruise control only when the

 road is dry. The only person the accident victim found who knew this, 

(besides the Officer), was a man who'd had a similar accident, totalled  his

 car and sustained severe injuries.

NOTE:

Some vehicles (like the Toyota Sienna Limited XLE) will not allow you to set 

the cruise control when your windshield wipers are on.   Even if you send

 this to 15 people and only one of them doesn't know about it, it's still worth

 it. 'You may have saved a life.'
