The Ministry of Interior (MOI) has urged motorists to follow essential safety guidelines when driving in rainy conditions to reduce the risk of accidents and ensure the safety of all road users.

The ministry highlighted the importance of checking vehicle readiness before driving in the rain. Motorists are advised to ensure that tyres and brakes are in good condition and that windshield wipers and vehicle lights are functioning properly.

Drivers are also reminded to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, allowing sufficient time to react and brake when necessary. This is particularly important during rainfall, when road conditions can change and the actions of other road users may be unpredictable.

The MOI emphasised that maintaining a safe following distance and ensuring vehicles are properly equipped are important measures that help prevent accidents and enhance road safety during rainy weather.

Motorists are encouraged to remain cautious and drive safely whenever rainfall affects road conditions.
