Driving in the Rainy Season: What to Check on Your Car (Malaysia)
Malaysia's rainy season brings heavy, frequent downpours. Check these components before you head out to stay safer on wet roads.
Heavy rain means low visibility and slippery roads, demanding more from your car. These checks before and during the rainy season make driving safer.
Rainy-season checklist
Tyres: enough tread to disperse water; bald tyres slip easily in the rain.
Wipers: if they don't wipe clean, change the blades for clear vision.
Brakes: wet braking distances are longer — ensure pads and brakes are good.
Lights: headlights, fog and brake lights working so others see you.
Aircond/demist: clear fog off the glass quickly.
Advice
Do a routine check before the rainy season, focusing on tyres, wipers and brakes.
