On wet roads, adjust your driving for safety. Increase your following distance to five or six seconds. The wet surface reduces tire traction, making it harder to stop quickly. Maintaining a larger gap between your vehicle and the one ahead ensures that you have sufficient time to respond and stop if necessary.
