When driving on a wet road, the safety distance we must maintain with the vehicle in front will be...
A)The same as on a dry road, since the safety distance depends on the speed and not on the condition of the road.
B)Greater.Correct
C)It will be less, in order to better observe the manoeuvres of the vehicle in front.
The braking distance is that travelled by the vehicle from when the driver applies the brake until the vehicle is stopped. This distance can vary depending on the speed at which one is driving, the condition of the tyres, suspension, brakes, the vehicle's load, road conditions and weather conditions.
When driving on a wet road, the brakes lose efficiency, increasing the metres travelled when braking (braking distance). That is why, in anticipation of possible collisions, the safety distance we maintain with the vehicle in front will be greater than that we would maintain when driving on a dry road.
