Driving in the rain

Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the
windows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.

Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be

Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road
surface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
