It can reduce visibility and grip, increasing risk and, under comparable conditions, potentially lengthening the distance needed to stop. Reduce and adapt speed, increase the gap to the vehicle ahead and use smooth inputs. You do not deliberately increase your stopping distance to prevent a skid: you leave enough room for the potentially longer stopping distance. No gap alone guarantees that the tyres will not skid.
