If the brakes have become wet while driving in rain, which action is appropriate when it can be done safely?

Correct answer

Gently check their response, only when safe.

Check their response with gentle pedal pressure, only in safe conditions without creating risks for others. Moisture can reduce effectiveness; checking does not prevent them getting wet. Avoid harsh braking and follow the vehicle instructions. If their response is inadequate, stop in a safe place and seek help. Do not cross a flooded road to test them or brake during aquaplaning.
