Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
Rain reduces traction and visibility. What should happen to your 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 normal dry-road gap
Why
A larger gap provides more time to see, decide, and stop when wet pavement or limited visibility lengthens the response.
