BDifficulty 2/5

When driving in rain, visibility decreases, especially if the rain is heavy. What precautions should you take?

Correct answer

You should increase the safety distance and reduce speed.

Increase your safety gap and reduce speed to match visibility and reduced grip. Keep the windscreen clean and demisted, maintain the wipers and use the appropriate lighting. Do not drive along longitudinal markings to guide yourself. These measures reduce risk but do not guarantee preventing crashes or compensate for a flooded road that cannot be crossed safely.
