If the road is wet from a heavy rain, you should:
|
Increase your speed to match the vehicle ahead.
|
|
|
Increase the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
|
|
|
Drive one vehicle-length behind the vehicle ahead.
|
|
|

Explanation
Wet roads are slippery and it takes longer to stop your vehicle. Increasing the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead will give you enough time and space to slow down and stop safely without crashing into the vehicle in front of you. When there is a heavy rain, it is even more important to increase the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead as the road is even more slippery and stopping time is greater.
