Question 8147
Does rain require the driver to take more precautions than usual?
- Only while the first drops are falling; after that, it is not necessary to take precautions.
- No, because it improves visibility by cleaning the windshield.
- Yes, because the tires can lose traction.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because the tires can lose traction.
Yes. In rain, tires can lose grip, braking is less effective, and you also see less. The road is most slippery when the first drops fall, but you must drive more carefully than usual for as long as it keeps raining.
