Correct answer
Greater than when the road surface is dry
It should be greater. A wet road usually provides less grip and can increase braking distance; leave more space and adapt your speed too. The DGT recommends doubling the following distance compared with a dry road as a practical guide. Increase it further if rainfall, visibility, tyres or grip require it: the guideline does not guarantee a sufficient gap in every situation.
