Comment

There is a risk of aquaplaning on wet roads. The braking distance is longer than on dry surfaces. The vehicle in front creates a spray of dirty water that reduces your visibility. Also, you cannot see larger puddles of water in advance. To be able to react well to dangerous situations, keep a greater distance from the vehicle in front and adjust your speed.
