Motorists urged to drive with care on rainy days
************************************************
************************************************
Owing to wet weather, motorists are advised to drive with extra care.
Traffic Police pointed out that under such condition, twice the normal stopping distance is required. Motorists are therefore urged to reduce speed and to extend the distance between themselves and the vehicle in front.
For safety reason, motorists are also advised to turn on headlights to improve visibility while driving. They should pay careful attention in changing lanes.
Pedestrians are advised to take heed of traffic while crossing the roads, particularly at busy junctions or when their view is obstructed.
