Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
Rain starts after a long dry spell. Which driving adjustment is appropriate?
Correct answer: Slow down and leave more space, because water mixes with oil and dirt.
Why
Be especially cautious when rain first mixes with oil and dirt on a previously dry road. Reduce speed and use smooth inputs with extra space. Continued rain may wash some contamination away, but wet pavement and standing water can remain hazardous.
