RR-021 — Following Distance in Rain
Question
You normally keep a two-second following gap. What should you do when it is raining heavily?
A. Keep the same two-second gap B. Halve the gap to keep up C. At least double the time gap
Correct answer: C
Explanation
In rain or poor grip you should at least double the time gap (three to four seconds or more), because stopping distances lengthen on a wet road. Keeping or halving the gap is unsafe.
