Wet asphalt reduces grip and visibility. Drivers must adjust speed to conditions according to DGT recommendations. In very heavy rain, stopping in a safe place off the carriageway is advised. Increasing the gap from the preceding vehicle is key to shortening braking distance.
What this means: Check the condition of wipers and lights. In a downpour, it is safer to stop temporarily on the hard shoulder.
