Warning, Construction & Information SignsStandalone practice
It starts to rain as you drive on a two-lane highway. You pass a yellow diamond sign that shows a car with two wavy lines behind it. What should you do?
Correct answer: Slow down, leave more space ahead, and brake and steer gently
Why
Wet pavement gives your tires less grip, so stopping takes longer and a sharp turn can cause a skid. With pooled water, the tires can ride up on the water and lose contact with the road. A lower speed is the best way to keep traction.
