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 and confirmed it.
It is useful...even driving at night. Most of the motorists would turn on HIGH
or FASTEST SPEED
of the wipers during heavy downpour, yet the visibility
in front of the windshield is still bad......
In the event you face such a situation, just try
your SUN GLASSES (any model will do), and miracle!
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 SUN GLASSES in your car, as 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!
Amazing you still see the drops on the windshield,
but not the sheet of rain falling.
You can see where the rain bounces off the road.
It works to eliminate the "blindness" from passing semi's
spraying you too.
Or the "kickup" if you are following a semi or car in the rain.
They ought to teach that little tip in driver's training.. It really does work.
This warning is a good one!
I wonder how many people know about
this
ALSO - NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL
ON.
This warning should be listed, on the driver's seat sun-visor
- NEVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN
THE PAVEMENT ISWETOR 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 pavement is dry.
NOTE: Some vehicles (like the Toyota Sienna
Limited XLE) will not allow you to set the cruise control when
the windshield wipers are on.
If you send this to 15 people and only one of them
doesn't know about this, then it was all worth it.
You might have saved a life.
