Q #699 - You're driving along this motorway. It's raining. What should you do when following this lorry?
The usual two-second time gap increases to four seconds when the roads are wet. If you stay well back, you'll ? be able to see past the vehicle ? be out of the spray thrown up by the lorry's tyres ? give yourself more time to stop if the need arises ? increase your chances of being seen by the lorry driver.
| Allow at least a two-second gap | |
| Move left and drive on the hard shoulder | |
| Move right and stay in the right-hand lane | |
| Be aware of spray reducing your vision |
