When rain, darkness, construction, or heavy traffic increases risk, what should happen to following distance?
Blue car A follows silver car B on a wet road with rain marks. No gap measurement or instruction appears.

Why
Inclement weather, construction, heavy traffic, and nighttime driving call for a larger gap because visibility, traction, and reaction opportunities may be reduced.
