Driving on a wet road creates:
- Correct answer: A danger of skidding and turning-over, as speed increases
- A danger of sliding and rolling-over, which can be prevented by driving faster.
- A longer response distance.
- Vehicle roll-over due to slow speed.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: A danger of skidding and turning-over, as speed increases
Water on the road reduces the grip between the tyres and the surface, so the vehicle can skid more easily, and a skid can lead to a roll-over. The higher the speed, the greater this danger, so slow down on wet roads. Reaction distance depends on the driver and the speed, not on the road surface. A wet road lengthens the braking distance.
