Rain
After a heavy downpour, a driver should keep a greater distance to the vehicle in front because wheel spray may impair visibility.
-
Rain leads to a wet road surface, which typically doubles the braking distance of that required on a dry surface.
When driving in heavy rain, drivers should be aware that the car can slide or 'aquaplane.' Aquaplaning reduces the grip of a car's tyres on the road.

-
Fog
In dense fog, a driver should use front and rear fog lights and dipped head lights.
