When driving in the rain, visibility decreases, especially if the rain is heavy. What precautions should you take?
Safe driving
Explanation
Driving in the rain can be complicated due to two main factors: **reduced visibility** and **less tire grip** on the road. This means that the vehicle needs more space to brake safely.
- **Reduced visibility**: Heavy rain makes it difficult to clearly see the road, which can increase the risk of accidents.
- **Tire grip**: When the road is wet, the tires do not grip well, which can cause the vehicle to skid. This is especially dangerous when braking.
To handle these conditions safely, it is crucial to **increase the safety distance** with the vehicle in front. This provides more time and space to react if sudden braking is necessary. Additionally, it is important to **reduce speed** to have better control of the vehicle and avoid skidding.
These measures help to compensate for the difficulties presented by driving in the rain, ensuring greater safety on the road.
