The carriageway is wet. What safety distance should you keep from the vehicle in front?
Safe driving
Explanation
When the **roadway is wet**, it is important to maintain a **greater safety distance** with the vehicle in front. This is because road conditions affect braking ability and vehicle control.
- **Adverse conditions** such as rain, snow, or fog require you to increase the safety distance. This is because the vehicle may take longer to stop due to the reduced tire grip on a wet surface.
- The **safety distance** is the minimum space you must leave with the vehicle in front to avoid collisions in case of sudden braking. In situations where the road is wet, it is crucial to increase this distance to compensate for the reduction in braking ability.
Therefore, in wet road conditions, you should always maintain a greater distance than when the road is dry to ensure driving safety.
