Which of the following is true about vehicle traction and weather conditions?

Wet surfaces can reduce traction due to the presence of water between the tires and the roadway, which can create a layer of lubrication. This can lead to hydroplaning, where the tires lose contact with the road, resulting in a loss of control. On wet roads, vehicles may take longer to stop, and it can be more difficult to steer. As a result, it is important for drivers to adjust their speed and driving behavior in rainy conditions to account for the decreased traction and the potential for skidding.

The other statements reflect misunderstandings about the effects of various weather conditions on vehicle traction. While snow does reduce traction and can make roads slippery, so does ice, which significantly compromises vehicle control. Rain generally decreases traction as it creates slippery road conditions, rather than increasing it.
