Page 2 Wet Weather Caution When rims and brakes are wet due to muddy, wet or icy road conditions the distance needed to stop safely increases. You must, therefore, anticipate the additional distance needed to stop in such circumstances. Reduce your speed and take corners slowly and carefully. Hard appli- cation of the brakes on wet or icy pavement (or on loose gravel or debris) can cause the wheel(s) to lock up and skid, resulting in possible loss of control. -
