00:00The road accidents don't last for a season.

00:04The tip on how to travel safely during the rainy season,

00:07in the first news of Joseph Moro.

00:13It's the first day of Christmas and many have experienced it.

00:15So if there's no traffic on the road,

00:17because motorists are going back and forth to their provinces,

00:21the road is slippery and dangerous for some.

00:25According to a road safety expert,

00:28it's important to be careful when driving when it's raining heavily.

00:32In Tagalog, it's called tikatik.

00:34Is it more dangerous?

00:36It's more dangerous than totally bus.

00:39Tikatik is more prone to slippery roads.

00:43It's more slippery.

00:46Another thing to be careful of is hydroplaning.

00:49This is when the car's wheels lose contact.

00:52It's like it's gliding in the water.

00:56It's important to be careful when driving when it's raining.

01:00If the road is wet, don't hit it.

01:03Respect the speed limits.

01:05The most manageable thing is to stay especially if you're in the expressway.

01:09That's the safest way because you'll react more quickly

01:12if there's a hazard on the road.

01:15Aside from this, make sure that there's enough distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.

01:19At least one car.

01:22At least one car.

01:24That's the difference.

01:26If you're too close,

01:28there's a tendency that you're in the wrong place

01:31and you're too close to the vehicle in front of you.

01:34The reaction will be different.

01:36According to the Land Transportation Office,

01:38avoid sudden braking,

01:40be alert to water patches,

01:42slippery roads,

01:43and if the wheels are still gliding on the road.

01:46If you feel that the grip is losing,

01:48slowly remove your foot from the accelerator

01:50to slow it down.

01:52If the road is slippery,

01:54tap the brake slowly

01:56to make it dry.

01:58According to the PNP Highway Patrol Group,

02:03from January to September 2024,

02:0625,000 accidents have been reported

02:09on the road across the country.

02:11This is a 39.13% increase

02:14compared to the same time last year.

02:16What if you're the one who's careful on the road

02:19but the other drivers are careless?

02:22We can't control those behind us.

02:25What we can control is what's in front of us.

02:28We can do that.

02:29But maybe the tip for our drivers

02:32is to be more aware

02:34of the rear mirrors and side mirrors.

02:37This is the first news.

02:39Joseph Morong for GMA Integrated News.

02:49Stay tuned for the first news.
