Answer

Riding in the rain requires extra caution. First, reduce your speed, as wet roads can be slippery, making it harder to stop quickly.

• It's also important to avoid sudden movements or hard braking, which can lead to losing control. Wearing proper rain gear can help keep you dry and comfortable, allowing you to focus on the road.

• Additionally, be aware of the visibility issues that rain can bring. Try to stay visible to other drivers and increase your distance from vehicles around you to allow for safer stopping distances.

Allow extra time for traffic and weather. Confirm the specific service on the day, agree prices or use an app where practical, and keep screenshots of bookings and pickup details.
