The road is wet and visibility is reduced. Compared with good conditions, what should the blue car's driver do with the following gap?
A blue car follows a silver car on a wet road in rain.
Correct answer: Increase it to allow more time to see, react and stop.
Why
Poor visibility and reduced tire grip are reasons to slow down and leave more time and space ahead. A larger gap helps you detect braking sooner and respond more smoothly. Increase it as conditions worsen; do not treat one fixed interval as sufficient for every wet, snowy or icy road.
