What is a recommended practice for driving in heavy rain?

Using cruise control
Pulling off and waiting
Driving slightly faster than normal
Using only parking lights

The correct answer is: Pulling off and waiting

The recommended practice for driving in heavy rain is to pull off and wait. This approach emphasizes safety, as heavy rain can significantly reduce visibility and the traction of your vehicle on the road. By pulling off to a safe location, drivers can avoid the dangers associated with hydroplaning and decreased stopping distances that come with wet conditions. It also allows the driver to wait until conditions improve, ensuring that they are not risking their safety or that of others on the road. Other practices such as using cruise control, driving slightly faster than normal, or using only parking lights are not advised during heavy rainfall. They could impair control of the vehicle or compromise visibility further, making them less safe choices compared to waiting for the rain to lessen.
