After a rather hot start to autumn in almost all of Spain, it seems that the weather is finally beginning to feel more in line with the time of year in which we find ourselves. Temperatures have dropped in general terms and the rains are already making themselves felt in various parts of the country.
Furthermore, the forecast for the next few days is that rainfall will increase and that the cold will gradually reach most parts of the peninsula. Rain, although necessary due to the levels of drought that have been occurring for several years, can be uncomfortable for some people’s daily lives and even create some dangerous environments if it rains very intensely.
An example of this happens when we are on the road behind the wheel of a vehicle. Although current cars are more than prepared to be used in the rain, the truth is that this means that we have to to take precautions. Some of them would be to reduce speed due to slippery ground, the risk of aquaplaning or skidding in curves, turning on the lights to be more visible or using the windshield wipers correctly to have better vision.
Even so, the risk of suffering an accident or a scare usually increases compared to when we drive without rain. Among some of the discomforts that can occur due to precipitation, there is one common to almost anyone: the accumulation of water in the mirrors and, therefore, loss of visibility.
That is why, at ABC, we facilitate a very useful trick to prevent water from staying on these mirrors that help us so much behind the wheel. The video has been published on TikTok in a compilation of tricks that can be useful to anyone in their daily life.
