All About Properties in Malaysia: It's raining and for sure it will be wet

Time is 4.09am here in Kota Tinggi, Johor. I heard whistling sound at the other side of the wall. Wind blowing heavily and followed by rainfall.

Wow..! Thanks because today is Saturday morning and I will not be going to my office. Driving in the rain can be very frustrating and dangerous if you're not careful enough. It need constant attention and full concentration while driving through the rain especially in windy situation.

Visibility will be reduced and all you can use for your guide is roadside reflector and other vehicle's tail light.

Word of advice. Don't drive if you can't. Stop at any safe place like R&R or petrol station or anywhere that you think it's safe. If you really need to drive through the rain drive in a steady pace, turn on your fog light or headlight if you must. NEVER TURN ON YOUR HAZARD SIGNAL. It's not safe. In fact it's more dangerous than you think!

Drive slowly but not too slow. This can cause serious accidents when other vehicle needs to follow you all the way. Mark my word of advice. TAILGATING IS DANGEROUS.

Here's some list of advice that I really think you should follow while driving in the rain.

1. If you cannot drive in the rain, don't! It will be dangerous for you and other commuters.

2. Turn on your fog light. If you must, turn on your head light. Never turn on you HAZARD SIGNAL. People will think that you park on the roadside..!

3. Don't drive too slow and too fast. Be easy on the throttle. Avoid using your brakes if necessary because it's slippery and brakes won't help to stop your car.

4. Keep your distance between the vehicle in front. Follow their tail light if visibility is low. NEVER tailgate another vehicle because you will not be able to stop from kissing other vehicle's bumper.

5. In daylight, it's wise to wear your driving glasses NOT sunglasses. Light amber glasses will make you see better in the rain and fog. The color Red and Orange will be better seen.

6. Back to number 1. Don't drive if you think you can't. Delay your trip is safer than having to drive in the rain where your confidence and vehicle is not well prepared.

Have a very nice day and safe journey..!
