"Rainy conditions dramatically increase the risk of costly driving errors, and motorists need to be aware of the safest ways to navigate these dangerous elements. Motorists could face hefty fines and penalty points for making common wet weather mistakes, including splashing pedestrians, driving on flooded roads and swerving to avoid potholes. Potholes are a key hazard to be aware of as the weather deteriorates."
"The battle against potholes can be felt around the country, and they are often worse after periods of rainy weather. Particularly wet weather can even disguise potholes, so they become even more of a danger to motorists. However, many drivers may be unaware that their attempts to avoid car damage from dangerous potholes could see them penalised, as swerving potholes could be viewed as driving without due care and attention."
Rainy weather creates hazards for motorists, including low visibility, flooded roads, and the risk of splashing pedestrians. Driving in low visibility can lead to insurers refusing claims if incidents occur while a motorist chose to drive despite unsafe conditions. Waterlogged roads often hide potholes, increasing risk of vehicle damage. Swerving to avoid potholes can be treated as driving without due care and attention and may result in fines and penalty points. Potholes commonly worsen after heavy rain and can be harder to spot. Slowing down, doubling stopping distance, waiting for conditions to improve, or avoiding non-essential journeys reduces risk and protects finances and other road users.
