Question: In heavy rain you should:
Answer options:
- Use cruise control ✅ Reduce speed and increase following distance
- Use hazard lights while moving
- Drive in the right lane only
Correct answer: Reduce speed and increase following distance
Explanation: In heavy rain, you must reduce speed and increase your following distance because wet asphalt drastically decreases tire traction, doubling stopping distances and increasing hydroplaning risks. Under the Alberta Driver's Guide, drivers must always adjust their speed to match weather conditions to maintain control. Using cruise control in the rain is dangerous as it can initiate hydroplaning when tires lose road contact. Hazard lights should only be used when stationary to signal an emergency, and restricting travel to the right lane does not address the loss of traction. Expect questions on adapting to adverse weather conditions to appear frequently on the Class 7 knowledge exam.
