The rain guards on your car come in handy to keep the rain off the window and to prevent the howling of wind when the wind screen is wound down a bit to allow some fresh air into the moving car. Wind and rain deflectors allow you to cruise effortlessly down the highway as you drive long distances to meet up with a client for business or a relative. In my case, I travel often to Kuala Lumpur while sitting and driving in the car for 4 to 5 hours at a stretch with one or two stops to relieve ourselves at rests areas built strategically along the North-South Highway. Most new cars now come with wind and rain guards to give you that added security in all weather conditions are you make your automobile purchase.

I have driven in heavy rain storms before and it was not easy. The view was partially blocked by the heavy downpour raining cats and dogs but with the wind shield wiper, it makes it a little more viewable. I had to slow down the car tremendously while turning on the emergency lights that flick on and off repeatedly during a heavy down pour. The roads may become slippery as well and the brakes may malfunction due to the layer of water on the roads. That is why we tend to see more accidents along the highways during such heavy storm.

Hence, it is better to slow down and not drive to fast to try to reach your destination during a down pour from the skies. It is fine if the rain is just a trickle here and there, but don’t take chances when there is thunder and lightning as well!
