New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road rules

How should you adjust your driving in wet weather?

The answer

  • Use high beams at all times
  • Drive closer to the car ahead to see better
  • Drive normally — modern cars handle rain
  • Increase your following distance and slow down Correct

Why that's the answer

Wet roads can double your stopping distance. Slow down and leave a bigger gap than the usual 3 seconds.
