Observation Speed SpaceStandalone practice
Rain becomes heavier, spray reduces your view and traffic ahead is slowing. When should you adjust your speed?
Correct answer: Reduce speed smoothly as conditions worsen, leaving more space
Why
Reassess conditions continuously and reduce speed smoothly when visibility, traction or traffic requires it. Leave extra space so that you can respond to traffic slowing ahead. Do not wait for a skid or an emergency stop to make the adjustment. The appropriate speed may be well below the posted maximum.
