What should drivers do during a heavy downpour with limited visibility?

Continue driving slowly
Keep driving at normal speed
Pull off the road and wait for the rain to let up
Use high beams to see better

The correct answer is: Pull off the road and wait for the rain to let up

During a heavy downpour with limited visibility, it is crucial for drivers to ensure their safety and the safety of others on the road. Pulling off the road and waiting for the rain to let up is the most responsible action. This allows drivers to avoid the risks associated with impaired visibility and slippery road conditions. When visibility is significantly reduced, continuing to drive—even at a slow speed—can still be dangerous as drivers may not be able to see other vehicles, obstacles, or changes in the road conditions effectively. Choosing to wait until conditions improve provides a safer approach, preventing potential accidents caused by hydroplaning or sudden stops. It is generally recommended to find a safe and well-lit location, away from traffic, to stop and wait for the rain to abate before resuming driving. This approach aligns with safety best practices, emphasizing caution and preparedness in adverse weather conditions.
