Why we drive cars slowly in rainy season?
For lots of reasons. Wet roads are harder to grip on and easier to skid on, so you need more space between cars and travelling fast will increase the distance you skid. You could go off the road easier in wet weather. Visibility isn't as good in wet weather, so it is better to drive slowly. Water can gather in anything from puddles to large floods, and these could affect the car. It is harder to know what the surface of the road is like, so you need to drive carefully. For these and other reasons, you need to slow down in wet weather.

By dropping back behind a large vehicle you will be able to see more of the road ahead and will have more time to react to any hazards, or to see if the road is clear enough to be able to overtake the vehicle (if road markings permit) without causing danger to other road users (as well as yourself).
What does the term 2 second rule refer?
It's the 2 second rule (not ruler). You make use of this rule by timing whether you are leaving enough clear road behind the vehicle in front. You find some mark ( a post, a lamp, a telegraph pole) and start counting from 0 seconds to 2 seconds just as your car is level with the mark . One good way is to say, "One potato, two potato" and notice how far you have travelled since you passed the mark. That shows the 2 second distance you travelled,
If you are behind another vehicle, start counting when the vehicle passes a post or a sign or a paint mark on the road. If you cannot count all the way to two before you are level with the same mark you are too close to that vehicle for safety.
The rule is a good one because it works at whatever speed you are travelling.
