Explanation
When the road is wet, the surface can become slippery, making it more difficult for your tires to grip the road. This can increase your braking distance and make it harder to control your vehicle. By reducing your speed, you give yourself more time to react to any potential hazards. When driving on slippery roads, avoid making sharp turns, don't brake or speed up abruptly, and increase your following distance.
