Dear Robert,

I was out in my 2019 Nissan Sentra during heavy rain yesterday and nearly lost control. Do you have any advice on how to drive under these weather conditions?

Thanks,
Amy

Hi, Amy!

Iâ€™m sorry to hear about your mishap yesterday. There are a number of driving techniques you can use to keep you and your 2019 Nissan Sentra safe.

The number one thing to do when itâ€™s raining is slow down. On top of this, everything from accelerating to applying the brakes and turning should be done gently and progressively.

Avoid any standing water which has built up on the road, as this could cause you to hydroplane. You should also try to drive in the tracks made by the car ahead of you, as this part of the road will have more grip.

If it's raining, you need to leave a lot more distance between you and the car in front of you. A good tip is to use â€œonly a fool breaks the two-second ruleâ€: say this once when the road is dry and twice in poor weather conditions.

Thanks for your question, Amy! Please donâ€™t hesitate to contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you ever need anything else.
