Correct answer
Reduce speed and increase following distance.
Reduce speed according to conditions and increase separation so you can stop safely. Rain can reduce grip and increase the distance needed to brake; a light moped is not exempt from that risk. Anticipate manoeuvres and use brakes and throttle smoothly. Braking late does not keep brakes dry and reduces the safety margin.
