Why is it hard to drive at night in the rain?

Pooling water tends to turn rough surfaces into smooth ones, and diffuse reflection into specular reflection. Driving at night on a wet road is made even more difficult by an additional consequence of specular reflection. These do increase road visibility; however, they don’t affect the extra oncoming-car glare.

Why is it difficult to see the roads in front of you when driving on a rainy night?

Answer: Because when the road is dry the light from your headlamps reflects off of it. When the road is wet, the light is absorbed in the reflection so you cannot see it as well. Take that same light and shine it on the shore, it lights up the dry ground, or reflects off the ground.

Why does my car not start when it rains?

Do you have to have rain guards on your car?
