In case of heavy rain, is it advisable to increase the safety distance and reduce speed?
A)Yes; tyre grip improves, but it is not advisable to reduce speed.
B)No; reducing speed increases the proportion of water on the asphalt.
C)Yes; since grip is lower and, consequently, braking distance increases.Correct
# Explanation
In heavy rain conditions, the grip of the tyres on the asphalt decreases significantly, which increases the distance needed to brake. For this reason, it is essential to reduce speed and increase the safety distance from other vehicles. These measures allow more time and space to react to possible emergency situations.
