What action should you take when driving in wet conditions?

When driving in wet conditions, it is essential to keep a longer distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you. Wet roads can reduce tire traction, leading to longer stopping distances. By increasing the space between vehicles, you allow yourself extra time and space to react to any sudden changes, such as the vehicle ahead stopping abruptly or losing control.

This practice is particularly important during rain or after it has been dry for a while, as oil on the road can create slick surfaces. Maintaining a greater following distance helps ensure that you can stop safely without risking a collision. Additionally, it provides you with better visibility to see hazards and maintains your own safety and that of others on the road.
