Does rain affect driving?
A)When riding a motorcycle yes, when driving a car no.
B)Yes, it increases reaction time.
C)Yes, it increases the braking distance.Correct
Rain, in addition to causing reduced visibility, makes the road wet and reduces grip, which affects the distance travelled when braking, this being greater than on a dry road.
The braking distance is the distance travelled by the vehicle from the moment the driver applies the brake until the vehicle comes to a stop. This distance can vary depending on the speed at which you are driving, the condition of the tyres, suspension, brakes, the vehicle load, road conditions and weather conditions.
In rain the braking distance increases by up to 2 times more, and on ice or snow up to 10 times more.
