What should you do when it is raining?

  1. Leave your headlights off

  2. Leave your high beams on

  3. Slow down and allow extra distance

  4. Increase your speed to stay ahead of traffic

The correct answer is: Slow down and allow extra distance

When it is raining, it is important to reduce your speed and increase your following distance. This is because rain can reduce visibility and create slick road conditions, making it more difficult to respond to unexpected events. Leaving your headlights off or leaving your high beams on can actually be dangerous as it can make it harder for other drivers to see you. Increasing your speed to stay ahead of traffic is also not recommended as it can cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
