Correct answer
- ASí, porque la distancia de frenado aumenta.Yes, because the braking distance increases.
Explanation
On a wet road surface, grip decreases and the braking distance increases on any type of road. That is why it is advisable to increase the gap to the vehicle in front: it gives you more room to stop without hitting it.
