How Rain Affects Stopping Distance: What Every Driver Should Know
Wet roads reduce traction and increase braking distance. Knowing how to adjust speed, following distance, and braking helps keep you in control.
Build safer habits on every trip
Every road environment changes quickly. Focus on the space around your vehicle, look well ahead, and give yourself enough time to recognize hazards before they become emergencies.
Small decisions—reducing speed for conditions, leaving a safe following distance, and limiting distractions—add up to a safer drive for everyone on the road.
Put defensive driving into practice
Use these principles each time you drive. Stay alert, anticipate the unexpected, and make choices that keep a margin of safety between you and potential danger.
