Driving in Dallas requires attention and alertness. This is particularly true during hazardous weather conditions. Rain can impede your vision on the road, particularly during a downpour. We here at Park Place Volvo Cars value your safety and would like to recommend the following tips for how to drive in the rain.

The first thing you'll want to do is maintain your alertness. It's more important than ever during poor weather conditions to be alert and pay attention. You'll also want to drive more slowly than usual.

In addition, you should use your headlights to increase visibility. Don't use cruise control. You'll actually be more in control without it. If you should hydroplane, driving in cruise control will only cause you to accelerate. To get out of a hydroplane, slowly remove your foot from the gas pedal. Turning the wheel in the direction of a slide will help you regain control of your vehicle.
