Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

True
The Highway Code states that stopping distances are at least double on wet roads compared to dry roads. Consequently, drivers must double their following distance from the standard two seconds to at least four seconds.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the standard dry-weather following distance rule
The standard rule for good, dry road conditions is a minimum separation gap of two seconds.
This establishes the baseline safety margin under normal driving conditions.
2
Apply the wet-weather adjustment according to the Highway Code
The separation gap must be doubled to at least four seconds.
Water on the road reduces tyre adhesion, which at least doubles overall stopping distances.
