ADD DETAILS The outerwear look is accented with suburban details such as belts, mammoth pockets, hoods, big collars. What are some of the special problems of driving in the rain, and what can you do about them? Automobile hydroplaning: This dangerous situation, which usually occurs during a heavy rain, happens when tires skim across the surface of the water. Hydroplaning usually happens at 55 mph or more, hut may occur at lower speeds, ft is more likely to happen at lower speeds if the rear of the car ia heavily loaded. Experts advise all drivers to slow down in the rafau Bald tires, which have no grooves into which water from the roadway can be pushed and decrease the chances of hydroplaning, should be replaced by newooes. (If water can't be pushed out of the way, it stays under the tire. Then the tire slides on it. That's hydroplaning). . Reduced visibility: Rain usually reduces a driver's vision. If the rain is especially heavy, motorists are advised to pull off the road and wait until the rain . Traffic signs: A little - recognized problem related to rain is that it reduces the reflective qualities of some signs- But signs covered with a transparent, plastic coat, retain their reflective qualities even when wet. Failing to see the former type of sign on a dark, rainy night could be fatal* Experts advise motorists to let highway officials know about signs that can't he seen in the rain. . Road oil and grease: Roads accumulate a band of oil and grease down the center of each lane. The longer it is between rain storms, the more greftse and oil are likely to be on the roads. Rain floats this oil to the surface and causes "oil slick" accidents. Heavy rain may wash off the oU in 30 minutes, but a gentle one may preserve the oil slick lor as much as two hours. Reduced speed, especially when it begins to rain after a dry qcll, is the only solution tothe problem, experts advise. • Wet leaves and mud: Soaked with water, leaves and mud nay cause skids of accidents Urten a driver brakes on them. Since both offer little tractton, try to avoid braking on them and redfece your speed when you see these condtttons on the road, but do it before you get art them. Tj wo.? LT.
