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
especially slippery.
●
Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,

surface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
