Question 5877
When driving on a road with a slippery surface due to rain, are you required to reduce your speed?
- Yes, always.
- Only when meeting another oncoming vehicle.
- No, when there is little traffic.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, always.
Yes. On a wet road surface, your tires have less grip and you need more distance to brake. That does not depend on traffic or on meeting an oncoming vehicle, so you slow down even if you are alone, as on the empty road in the image.
