Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
Rain has just begun, mixing with oil on the road. What following-distance change does the Hawaii handbook recommend?
Blue A follows silver B in the eastbound lane on a wet two-way road. Both cars stay in their lane, with rain falling around them.
Correct answer: Slow down and allow at least twice the normal distance.
Why
The handbook recommends at least twice the normal following distance when rain makes the surface slippery. Reduce speed and allow still more room if conditions demand it. The first rain can mix with road oil; a fixed distance or ordinary dry-road minimum is not enough for every wet-road situation.
