What should you do when driving in bad weather conditions to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front?

In bad weather conditions, it is essential to increase your following distance from the vehicle in front of you. This is crucial because adverse weather such as rain, snow, or fog can significantly affect road traction and visibility. A longer following distance gives you more time to react to sudden stops or emergencies. It allows for greater stopping distance, which is particularly important on slippery surfaces where your vehicle may take longer to come to a complete stop. By increasing your following distance, you enhance your safety and that of others on the road, reducing the risk of collisions caused by reduced reaction times in challenging conditions.
