Rain reduces visibility and traction. How should following distance change?
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.

Why
Reduced traction and visibility lengthen the time and distance needed to respond safely.
