Rain reduces the grip of the tyres on the carriageway and makes it harder to see. On a wet carriageway, the tyres lose grip and need a longer distance to stop, so you should reduce speed and increase the safe distance. Always brake gently to avoid locking the wheels. When rain reduces visibility, use dipped headlights and, where appropriate, fog lights. Driving in rain is more demanding and tiring, so take rest breaks more often.
