How should a driver prepare for rains associated with tropical storms or hurricanes?
Drive in the opposite direction of the flow of water
Drive closer to the center of the lane
Drive with your hazards on
Drive the same speed as normal
The correct answer is: Drive closer to the center of the lane
Driving close to the center of the lane is the recommended course of action in preparation for rains associated with tropical storms or hurricanes. This allows for better visibility and reduces the risk of hydroplaning on roads with pooled water. Driving in the opposite direction of the flow of water (choice A) is not recommended as it can be dangerous and may also violate traffic laws. Driving with hazards on (choice C) is only appropriate for emergencies or breakdowns, and driving at normal speeds (choice D) can be dangerous in heavy rain and low visibility conditions.
