How would you drive on a wet road?
- Accelerate until the end of the wet section – in order to enhance safety.
- Step on the clutch pedal intermittently.
- Correct answer: Slow down and drive at a reasonable speed, according to the road conditions.
- The same as on a dry road. There is no difference.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down and drive at a reasonable speed, according to the road conditions.
On a wet road, tyre grip is reduced, braking distances grow longer and the vehicle can skid or aquaplane. That is why you should slow down and match your speed to the road, visibility and weather, even below the posted limit. Speeding up only increases the danger, and pressing the clutch disconnects the engine from the wheels and reduces control.
