The normal stopping distance can increase by up to two times when driving in the rain. This is due to reduced traction on wet roads, which can lead to longer stopping distances and increased risk of accidents. It is important to adjust your driving behavior, increase following distance, and slow down in rainy conditions to stay safe on the road.
watch for cars entering the expressway; if you stay in the right lane, adjust your speed or move into the center lane so they can enter safely
Following distance should be increased (more distance) when behind a motorcycle because (1) the MC can stop faster than a car, and (2) it could go down for many reasons. Greater distance decreases the likelihood of running over the MC.
