Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: It increases the danger of skidding..
When it is wet; your tyres do not grip the road surface as well as when it is dry; your stopping distance is increased and you are more likely to skid. For these reasons you should slow down during or after rain and keep a greater distance from the vehicle in front.
