It starts with a few innocent raindrops on the glass.
At first, you might not even bother to turn on the windshield wipers. But judging from the dark skies and rolling thunder, you know it's just the beginning.
We've been treating people right since 1925. See what makes ERIE different.
Before long, your car is under assault from a rapid barrage of descending beads, leaving a blurry barrier on the windshield while the wiper blades swing at full speed trying to whisk rain away.
You're caught in a deluge on the highway-and it can be a pretty scary feeling, even for the most skilled drivers.
Besides being a nerve-racking experience, driving in heavy rain can easily lead to hydroplaning.
So how can you drive safely in heavy rain? Here are six tips to keep in mind:
Stay home if possible. Sometimes the simplest safety measure is the most effective. Unless you absolutely have to travel, stay in when heavy rains are in the forecast. Unfortunately, in spite of all the precautions we take, accidents can still happen in rainy conditions. And in those situations, having the right auto insurance coverage can make all the difference when you need it.
To get the right coverage-rain or shine-contact your local Erie Insurance agent for an auto insurance quote.
