What sort of driving should you avoid in these road conditions?

Description

Appendix No. 1 to the Regulation of the Minister of Transport, Construction and Maritime Economy on the training of persons applying for driving licences, instructors and lecturers (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1019).

Explanation

Correct answer: Driving at a high speed.

Driving in such conditions requires avoiding sudden manoeuvres, especially sharp braking and abrupt steering. Driving at high speed into a deep puddle can cause aquaplaning (water slide), which is a loss of tyre grip. This results in a loss of control over the vehicle and can lead to a dangerous skid.
