Correct answer
An increase in braking distance
It can increase it. Reduced grip limits braking capability; the outcome also depends on tyres, brakes and road condition. With reaction time and speed unchanged, rain does not itself shorten reaction distance. Adapt speed, increase the gap and use smooth inputs; ABS does not remove grip limits.
