It can take up to three times longer to stop a vehicle in wet conditions.

Much longer than if you were sober.
Depends upon conditions. Studies show that Most cars with ABS stop faster on wet and even dry pavement. However ABS cars take longer to stop on ice, snow, and gravel. Personally I really like them in rain, and CANNOT STAND THEM on snow/gravel.
Trucks take longer to stop than passenger cars.
The reason that it takes a moving truck a much longer time to stop than it takes a car to stop when the brakes are applied on both is because the truck weighs more. The more mass a vehicle has the longer it will take to stop.

Three to three and half hours, it will be much longer if you stop in Paris or London.
It will take longer for a train to stop compared to a car traveling at 100 mph. Trains are much heavier and have a longer stopping distance due to their mass and the physics involved in braking. While both vehicles are traveling at the same speed, the train's momentum and braking capabilities result in a longer stopping time. Therefore, the answer is (a) the train.
yes
It would take 12 inches, to rain 12 inches.
Yes, the faster you are moving the longer it will take to stop.
The wheels do not lock up with abs. This gives you more control to steer the vehicle out of danger but it takes longer to stop.
