When traveling in heavy rain, what should you do?

  1. Increase your speed

  2. Tailgate other cars

  3. Decrease your speed

  4. Turn your headlights on

The correct answer is: Decrease your speed

When traveling in heavy rain, it is important to decrease your speed. This is because heavy rain can cause slippery roads and reduced visibility, making it dangerous to drive at high speeds. Additionally, tailgating other cars (B) is also dangerous as it reduces the time and distance needed to stop. Turning your headlights on (D) is necessary in heavy rain as it helps improve visibility for both you and other drivers. Increasing your speed (A) is the opposite of what you should do in heavy rain, as it can increase the risk of hydroplaning and losing control of your vehicle.
