You’re driving along this motorway. It’s raining. What should you do when following this lorry?

Explanation: The usual two-second time gap increases to four seconds when the roads are wet. If you stay well back, you'll
- be able to see past the vehicle
- be out of the spray thrown up by the lorry's tyres
- give yourself more time to stop if the need arises
- increase your chances of being seen by the lorry driver
