Explanation
Rain, snow, or ice makes roads slippery. In such conditions, you need more distance to stop your vehicle and must leave additional space in front of you. If the vehicle ahead stops suddenly, you will need the extra distance to stop safely. Reduce your speed and increase your following distance to improve your safety under these conditions.
