A driver is hauling an empty tank vehicle, just unloaded, on a rainy day. How should the driver adjust their stopping distance compared to a normal, loaded, dry-road stop?

Question

Accepted Answer

Allow for extra stopping distance, since wet roads double normal stopping distance and empty tank vehicles may already take longer to stop than full ones

Answer

No adjustment is needed because an empty tank is always easier to stop than a full one

Answer

Only the wet road matters; the empty tank has no effect on stopping distance

Answer

Only the empty tank matters; wet roads have no effect once the tank is empty
