It begins to rain and the pavement is wet. How should you adjust your following distance?

• A.Keep exactly the same gap
• B.Reduce it so spray is lower
• C.Follow closer to use the other car's tracks
• D.Increase it substantially, roughly doubling or more the space you keep in dry conditions

Why

Wet pavement lengthens stopping distance and reduces visibility. Florida guidance advises giving yourself much more space in rain, roughly double or more, and slowing down.
