New Jersey Drivers Practice Test Practice Exam

Which action should you avoid while driving in rain?

Increase your speed Use your windshield wipers Maintain a safe following distance Turn on your headlights

Correct Answer:

Increase your speed

Explanation:

Increasing your speed while driving in rain is something that should be avoided because wet conditions significantly reduce traction between tires and the road surface. When driving in the rain, roadways may become slippery, especially during the initial rain when oil and debris rise to the surface. Higher speeds can lead to a greater risk of losing control of the vehicle, longer stopping distances, and increased chances of hydroplaning, where the tires ride on top of the water rather than making contact with the road. By maintaining appropriate speed for wet conditions, drivers can better react to unforeseen obstacles and maintain control of the vehicle.
