In rain, road grip significantly decreases, and braking distance increases. Doubling your following distance allows more time and space to react and stop safely, compensating for the reduced friction between tyres and the wet road surface, as advised by Portuguese traffic regulations.
When driving on Portuguese motorways in heavy rain, you must reduce your speed significantly below the usual limit. The correct speed is one that allows you to stop within the visible, clear distance ahead, regardless of the posted maximum limit. This also means increasing your following distance, often doubling it.
When following heavy vehicles, it's crucial to increase your distance for two main reasons: their limited rear visibility means they may not see you, and their size can block your view of the road ahead. Maintaining extra space allows you to see upcoming hazards and gives you more time to react.
No, even with good quality tyres, road conditions like rain, ice, or snow severely reduce grip and increase stopping distances. Good tyres improve performance but do not eliminate the need to adjust your speed and significantly increase your following distance to ensure safety. It's a critical rule for the Portuguese driving exam.
In icy or snowy conditions, road grip is extremely low. You should increase your following distance by at least four times compared to dry conditions. This provides the necessary margin for safety due to drastically extended braking distances and reduced control.
By completing Distances & Speed in Adverse Conditions, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Portugal.
