When driving in wet or slippery conditions, what should you do?

  1. Increase your speed

  2. Drive in a lower gear

  3. Decrease your speed

  4. Drive in the center lane

The correct answer is: Decrease your speed

When driving in wet or slippery conditions, it is important to decrease your speed. This is because wet or slippery road conditions reduce the amount of friction between your tires and the road, making it harder for your vehicle to maintain traction and control. Increasing your speed can make it more difficult to stop or steer your vehicle, putting you at risk for accidents. Driving in a lower gear can also help by giving your vehicle more power and control, but it is not as effective as reducing your speed. Driving in the center lane is not always the safest option, as it can be difficult to see and react to hazards on either side. It is important to remember to drive cautiously and slow down in wet or slippery conditions to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road.
