Question: On the expressway, maintain a 3-4 second following distance. If the road is slippery or wet, adjust your distance to __________.

Options:

1.  6-8 seconds
2.  4-5 seconds
3.  1-2 seconds
4.  2-3 seconds

Answer 1

1.)  6-8 seconds

On the expressway, maintain a 3-4 second following distance. If the road is slippery or wet, adjust your distance to 6-8 seconds.

This is because when the road is wet, it reduces the grip that may cause your tires to skid when braking, causing your car to not slow down.
