Driving In The Rain
Updated: 2010 Aug 17, 1837hrs
• Flood-prone areas ~ avoid them. Get info from you local news internet links. In Singapore, go to this link. http://www.straitstimes.com/STI/STIMEDIA/pdf/20100721/220710flood_prone22.pdf
• Leave earlier ~ coz it will take longer to reach there.
• Slow ~ drive very, very slow.
• Radio ~ switch to a radio station that's noted for it's traffic watch.
• High-Beam ~ Use High=Beam if you neaed too… this time even the car in front will thank you BUT check if it affects your view.
• Blinkers ~ you can also use the blinkers if it is necessary.
• Horn ~ Get ready to use the horn if you must… get some practice to do the soft type if you don’t want to sound rude.
• Brake ~ Test them befor driving & brake lightly & earlier than usual to inform other road users.
• Skid while braking ~ ease off or release to minimize the skid before applying brakes if you must.
• Turn slowly ~ turn slower than usual to prevent skidding & also just in case you missed that motorcycle or car in your blind-spot & hopefully he sees you.
• Middle lane ~ if you can… try to stay in the middle lane as there is more puddles on the sides.
• Huge puddle ~ if you see one, it may be a hole in the ground so avoid it.
• After a puddle ~ tap on your brake pedal lightly to clear the brake system.
• Pedestrians, cyclists & motorcyclists ~ they’re small and affected by the rain (fiddling with their umbrellas and what nots) so watch out for them.
• Use the car in front ~ if it’s safe for them, it’s probably (but not definitely) safe for you.
• Big Tires ~ Buses & vehicles with big tires create enough spray to block your vision completely. Avoid passing one, but if you must pass, do it as quickly as safety allows.
• Demister ~ defog or demystify your rear-window.
• Windscreen wiper ~ switch it on (I know it & you know it... but there may be some people out there who might not know this... who knows?).

Prayer Against Sin
Received this via email through 'Daily Nourishments' about learning to say "no" to sin with God's intervention. 'Daily Nourishments' or 'DN' in short was started by a friend of mine and is sent via email to all subscibers.

Prayer Against Sin ~ from Daily Nourishments (DN)
Dear Jesus, be our daily guide as we commit to saying no to sin and not submit to their attraction. Intervene when we are in situations so that we may learn to say no to greed and avarice. May we be freed from anger and lust. Amen.
~~~
English meanings of words above:
Avarice = Immoderate desire for wealth; extreme greed for riches; cupidity. Avaricious (adj), avariciously (adv), avariciousness (n)
Cupidity = Excessive desire, especially for wealth; covetousness or avarice. Strong desire, esp for possessions or money; greed.
