Practice question

What should you do if it starts to drizzle while you are driving?

  1. Allow at least twice the normal following distance
  2. Both A and B
  3. Neither A nor B
  4. Slow down because the rain will loosen oil and gravel on the road

Answer: B — Both A and B

If it starts to drizzle while you are driving, you should follow both options A and B. Allowing at least twice the normal following distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you is important in drizzly conditions as it can reduce the risk of hydroplaning and allow you more time to react in case of sudden stops. Additionally, turning on your headlights and windshield wipers to improve visibility is necessary. Slowing down and being extra cautious during drizzly conditions can prevent accidents and ensure your safety on the road.
