Correct answer
Moderate speed and, if necessary, stop the vehicle.
Reduce speed progressively and increase the following distance: rain can reduce grip and visibility. This gives more available time and space to respond without shortening your physiological reaction time. Avoid abrupt manoeuvres. If you cannot continue safely, stop in a safe, suitable location, away from moving traffic where possible; do not stop unnecessarily in a traffic lane. Perform emergency braking according to the vehicle system and instructions.
