When it rains, the water floats much of this loose, forming a slick film on the road. On wet roads, a driver traveling 30 m.p.h. requires 147 feet of stopping distance. On dry roads only 88 feet are needed," Atkinson said. Another factor affecting braking on wet roads is "tire hydroâ€"planning". At certain speeds, tires lift off the pavement, Rain presents an exâ€" tremely dangerous situation for all drivers. Streaky windshields, night glare and pounding rain cut down considerably on a driver‘s ability to see.
