Warning, Construction & Information SignsStandalone practice
Light rain has just started when you pass a yellow diamond that shows a car with two wavy lines behind it. What is the best way to drive on this stretch?

Correct answer: Slow down early, and steer, brake and speed up gently
Why
A wet road gives the tires less grip, so the car needs more distance to stop and can slide if you steer, brake or speed up suddenly. Texas law requires a lower speed when weather or road conditions make driving more hazardous. Slow down before the slippery part, leave a larger gap ahead, and make every move gently.
