What are the main reasons why overtaking is difficult in rainy weather?

[OCarmen]

The main reasons why overtaking is difficult in rainy weather are: 1. Difficulty in accurately judging the distance to surrounding vehicles; 2. Other drivers may not easily see overtaking signals; 3. Slippery road conditions increase the risk of vehicle skidding; 4. Reduced ability to promptly detect hazardous situations. Precautions for driving in rainy weather are as follows: 1. When driving on wet roads, the tire grip decreases sharply as speed increases, making "hydroplaning" more likely. In such situations, avoid sudden braking or sharp steering. 2. Due to the unique conditions of wet roads, it's advisable to reduce speed appropriately. When preparing to stop, begin decelerating 100-200 meters in advance to give following vehicles sufficient reaction time and ensure adequate braking distance to prevent rear-end collisions.
