The AA provides ways to help drivers reach their destination with the presence of heavy rain

With the presence of heavy rain, some drivers find it challenging to safely travel from point A to point B.

Here are some guidelines to help drivers reach their final destination without a single scratch.

First things first, you need to fully inspect your vehicle internally and externally; check and adjust your side-view mirrors and rear-view mirror, and check all your tires and your wiper blades.

According to the AA website, the key tips to ensure that you arrive safe and sound when travelling under heavy conditions are:

• Make sure that you always put on your seat belt (buckle up)
• Before leaving, ensure that your brakes are functioning
• For visibility, put on your headlights
• Make sure that you don’t speed and that you maintain a safe distance between cars surrounding your vehicle
• Always be vigilant on the road
• Drive in safe areas
