Question: In rain, snow, or poor visibility you should increase your following distance to at least:
Answer options:
- 2 seconds
- 3 seconds ✅ 4 or more seconds
- Same as normal
Correct answer: 4 or more seconds
Explanation: The Ontario Ministry of Transportation dictates a minimum two-second following distance under ideal, dry conditions. In rain, snow, or poor visibility, stopping distances increase significantly due to reduced traction and limited sightlines, requiring drivers to double this safety buffer to at least four or more seconds. Staying at two or three seconds, or keeping the same normal distance, fails to provide enough time to react and stop safely on slippery roads. G1 exam candidates must remember that safety margins must always increase during hazardous weather, a concept frequently tested in the rules of the road section.
