Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
When rain, darkness, heavy traffic, or a blocked view increases risk, what should happen to following distance?
Blue A follows silver B in the eastbound lane on a wet two-way road. Both cars are centered in their lane. Rain and the wet surface indicate reduced grip. The pictured gap does not establish a time interval.
Correct answer: Increase it beyond the basic three-second cushion.
Why
More hazardous conditions call for a larger space cushion because perception, traction, and stopping can all be affected.
