If the rain becomes torrential, drastically reducing visibility, what is the most appropriate precaution?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In torrential rain, windshield wipers may not be sufficient to clear the water, and visibility becomes practically nil, creating an extreme risk of accidents or aquaplaning. Therefore, safety rules advise against continuing to drive (even at reduced speed) if the road cannot be seen. The correct action is to immobilize the vehicle by parking it in a permitted and safe place off the roadway to wait for the rain to subside. Making an emergency stop in the middle of the road is prohibited and highly dangerous.
