DOHA: Ministry of Interior has issued an advisory for motorists who are driving during rains. According to the ministry’s post on social media, “As rain falls, it creates slick conditions perfect for skids. The best way to avoid skidding is to slow down. Driving at a slower pace allows more of the tire's tread to make contact with the road, which leads to better traction.”
“It takes about three times longer to brake on wet roads than on dry roads. Since more distance is required to brake, it is important not to tailgate. Keep a little more than two car lengths between you and the vehicle in front of you,” the post added
“In case, water vapor gathered on the car windscreen, run the air conditioner to clear it for more visibility,” The MoI post said.
