Correct answer
Yes, as tyres may lose their grip.
Rain requires the driver to take more precautions than usual, as tyres may lose their grip on wet surfaces. When it rains, the road becomes more slippery due to water and the possible accumulation of dirt, oil, or other residues on the pavement. This can reduce tyre traction and increase braking distance, making it necessary to take additional precautions. Some important precautionary measures include driving at a reduced speed, increasing the safety distance from other vehicles, braking in advance and smoothly, and being aware that braking distance can increase considerably in rainy conditions.
