  • a.Keep your normal speed
  • b.Slow to a low, cautious speed and be ready to stop

  • b.A minimum speed
  • c.A maximum for good conditions, to be reduced when conditions are poor

During heavy tropical rain, the correct adjustments are to:

  • a.Slow down, increase your following distance, and use headlights
  • b.Keep the same speed and gap
  • c.Brake hard and often
  • d.Switch off your lights

Heavy rain reduces grip and visibility and lengthens stopping distances. Slow down, leave a bigger gap, brake gently, and use headlights so you can see and be seen.

At night or in heavy rain with poor visibility, you should:

  • a.Use high beam near oncoming traffic
  • b.Follow the vehicle ahead closely by its lights
  • c.Drive faster to get through
  • d.Slow down, keep a larger gap, and use dipped headlights

Poor visibility gives you less time to react, so slow down and increase your gap. Use dipped headlights; high beam reflects off rain and dazzles oncoming drivers.
