When the vehicle's brakes get wet...
A)The braking distance will increase.Correct
B)The braking distance will decrease.
C)Metallic squeals will occur when braking.
Rain is an atmospheric phenomenon that can negatively influence driving and requires extreme precaution while driving. With a wet road surface, tyres lose part of their grip on the road. The road surface becomes extremely slippery when the first drops fall.
To avoid having an accident when the road is wet, in addition to keeping the tyres at the correct pressure and tread, you should...
- Moderate speed and increase the safety distance (up to double).
- Brake earlier and more gently (the braking distance can increase up to double).
- Test the effectiveness of the brakes after passing through a flooded section or with pools of water (remember that if they get wet you must brake several times to dry them).
- Take extreme care when driving at high speed, as you may suffer aquaplaning (the tyres cannot displace the layer of water on the road and lose grip).
