00:00The roads will be slippery every time it rains.

00:04According to an expert, hydroplaning should be avoided.

00:07What is it? Find out in the news brought to you by Joseph Moro.

00:14It's the first day of Christmas and many have experienced it.

00:16So if there's no traffic on the roads because motorists are going home to their provinces at the same time,

00:22slippery roads and dangerous roads are the dangers for some.

00:27According to a road safety expert,

00:29it's better to be careful when driving when it's raining heavily.

00:33In Tagalog, it's called tikatik.

00:35So it's more dangerous to drive, sir?

00:38It's more dangerous than a totally bus.

00:40Tikatik is more prone to slippery roads.

00:45It's more slippery.

00:48Another thing to be careful of is hydroplaning.

00:51This is when the car's wheels lose contact

00:54and it feels like it's gliding in the water.

00:57When driving in the rain, it's important to monitor the speed.

01:02If the road is wet, don't crash.

01:04Respect the speed limits.

01:06The most manageable is 60, especially if you're in the expressway.

01:10That's the safest because it's easier for you to react to whatever hazard there is on the road.

01:16Aside from this, make sure that there's enough distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.

01:21At least one car.

01:24At least one car is the difference in our range.

01:27If you're a bit close,

01:29there's a tendency that if you're in the wrong place and you're too close to the vehicle in front of you,

01:35the reaction will be different.

01:37According to the Land Transportation Office,

01:39avoid sudden braking,

01:41be alert to water patches,

01:43slippery roads,

01:44and if the wheels are still gliding on the road.

01:47If you feel that the grip is losing,

01:49carefully remove your foot from the accelerator to slow it down.

01:53If it crosses a slippery road,

01:55tap the brake slowly to make it dry.

01:59According to the PNP Highway Patrol Group,

02:04from January to September 2024,

02:07there were only 25,000 accidents on the road across the country.

02:12This is a 39.13% increase compared to the same time last year.

02:18What if you're the one who's careful on the road,

02:20but the other drivers are careless?

02:23We can't control what's behind us.

02:26What we can control is what's in front of us.

02:29We can do that.

02:30But maybe the tip for our drivers,

02:33maybe be more aware of the rear mirrors and side mirrors.
