You are driving a vehicle in the rain. Which of the following actions should you first of all take in order to drive more safely?

Description

Art. 19 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997, the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended).

Explanation

Correct answer: Decrease the speed.

According to Art. 19 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver is obliged to adjust their speed to the conditions on the road. During rain, a wet surface significantly reduces tyre grip and increases braking distance. Reducing speed is crucial to avoid skidding and maintain control of the vehicle.
