In the rain, a layer of water forms that creates greater danger due to...
A)no danger is created because the water cools the tyres and they brake better.
B)the heating of the brakes when they get wet.
C)the possible loss of tyre grip on the road surface.Correct
On a wet road surface, tyres lose grip, increasing the distance needed to brake (braking distance increases up to 2 times), so we should reduce speed and increase the safety distance.
We should always brake gently to avoid possible wheel lock-up.
We must exercise extreme caution when travelling at high speed, as aquaplaning may occur (the tyres cannot displace the layer of water on the road surface and lose grip).
