The explanatory texts for the questions were machine translated. More info

All explanatory texts were compiled in German and then machine translated. This may result in translation errors. However, this only refers to the explanations to the questions. The translations of the questionnaires were done by TÜV | DEKRA arge tp 21 and are exactly the same as the translations in the theory test. These translations are only available once you are logged in. All other translations on the website were done by a different translation agency.

Frage-Nr.: 1.1.03-007-M
Sie fahren nach Starkregen. Was sollten Sie in dieser Situation beachten?

Basically, grip on wet roads is lower than on dry roads. This increases the braking distance. In order to brake in time if necessary, you should keep a greater safety distance than on dry roads.
Ich sollte einen großen Sicherheitsabstand zum vorausfahrenden Fahrzeug halten
After a heavy rain, a lot of water has collected on the street, which has yet to drain. Puddles may have formed, increasing the risk of aquaplaning. Aquaplaning causes you to lose control of the vehicle. This is one of the reasons why you should always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front after heavy rain.
Ich kann Unebenheiten auf der Fahrbahn schlecht erkennen
Due to the heavy rain, puddles often form in which you cannot see bumps in the road or potholes. In addition, the wet road can reflect, which makes visibility even more difficult.
Spritzwasser kann meine Sicht beeinträchtigen
After heavy rain, the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic can suddenly cause a lot of water spray from puddles to land on the windshield. You should be prepared for that. Brake lights and other signals from other vehicles may also be harder to see when the road is wet than when the road is dry.
