Correct answer
Yes, because the braking distance increases.
It is advisable to increase the safety distance from the vehicle travelling ahead in rainy conditions. The main reason is that rain reduces the friction between the tyres and the road, which increases the braking distance. Increasing the safety distance allows more time to react and brake gradually in an emergency, helping to prevent rear-end collisions and ensuring safer driving in rainy conditions. In addition to increasing the safety distance, it is also important to reduce speed and brake gently to adapt to wet-road conditions and avoid accidents.
