What should happen to your following distance on a wet, icy, or low-visibility road?
Two cars travel in the same direction on a wet road in rain. The rear car follows the car ahead.
Correct answer: Increase it, because you need more time and space to stop.
Why
Increase the gap when road or visibility conditions reduce your stopping margin. The handbook says the basic three-to-four-second interval should grow to up to six seconds or more if necessary. It also advises doubling following distance when rain begins. Choose enough space for the actual conditions rather than treating any one number as a guarantee.
