Explanation
Driving becomes more hazardous when visibility is reduced or roads are wet due to rain. To stay safe, maintain a greater following distance and adjust your speed to ensure you can stop safely if needed. In poor conditions, be especially cautious - avoid sudden braking, sharp steering, or rapid speed changes, as these can cause loss of control. Stay alert and drive smoothly to reduce the risk of accidents.
