What is the increased danger from a sheet of water caused by rain?
The braking system of a vehicle will be more effective when driving on a road with dry, clean and smooth pavement.
If the road surface is very wet due to heavy rain, the adherence of the tires to the road surface will be less, causing the tires to slip.
The braking system will also be less effective as they may stop working, increasing the stopping distance and thus increasing the risk of an accident.
