– Regardless of where you live or how much rain you get, it’s always important to stay safe, especially while on the roads.And the KPRC 2 weather team is keeping you ready as we continue to track thunderstorms, as Monday’s storms left over from Easter Weekend are expected to close out the last full week of April.According to a study by the American Meteorological Society, which analyzed the data of 125,012 deadly crashes over 6 years, found that 34% of those accidents happened during “active rain,” and the highest rate of those deadly accidents happened during the morning rush hour.What are the common reasons folks get into an accident - especially during a storm? They’re not paying attention to what’s happening on the roads and they end up hitting their brakes too hard and hydroplane. People need to drive very carefully. Drive slow. Keep your eyes open and your hands on the steering wheel. Because if you don’t do this one more time, well, you’re going to wind up here.I’ve learned to always keep at least two car lengths between me and the car in front of me. And I know a lot of times, you want to give a little extra space between you and the other car in front of you because the drivers here can be are very aggressive. You have to back off and leave a little more space. Being aggressive back doesn’t work. When it’s raining, it can be really hard to see a pothole and rain can contribute to the creation of potholes - so what problems have you seen in Houston with potholes and cars? If you hit a pothole hard enough, you’re going to destroy your suspension. And then your car will have to go to the mechanic shop to fix and replace missing parts. Which is another reminder to not drive in the rain, if you don’t have to and to take it slow while on the roadways -especially when it’s raining.Meteorologist Brittany Begley's passion is making sure viewers across the Houston area are safe and prepared for their day.Spring has arrived, and with it comes an opportunity to save on fabulous deals.Farberware Classic Corded Stick Vacuum
