Explain why cars should travel more slowly in wet weather.
Answers
Answer:
If you drive too fast, brake or steer harshly, then you risk breaking the adhesion of the tyres. Friction is lost and your car skids. A skid is a loss of control of your vehicle. A wet road means there is less friction so the chances of overcoming the limits of this are greater.
Beacuse the road is wet so there is less friction between the car and th road.Without the force of friction, the car would tend to go in a straight line — straight off the road!) When a car slows down, the friction between the road and the tires helps to bring the car to a stop as the wheels slow down.
Some other reasons that why should we drive slow in rainy season:-
Going slower in the rain gives you more time to react if another car on the road loses control and you need to make a sudden stop. As rain collects in puddles on the road, the oil that has dripped onto the road sits on the surface of the water, making it even more slippery.
