Warning, Construction & Information SignsStandalone practice
A yellow diamond sign shows a car with two wavy skid marks behind it. Rain has just started to fall. What should you do?
Correct answer: Slow down and make your braking, steering and speed changes gentle
Why
Quick turns or speed changes on a wet road can start a skid, and from about 35 mph tires can begin to ride on a film of water. Increase your following time to four seconds or more on wet roads. New Jersey law also requires a lower speed when weather or road conditions make driving more hazardous.
