Final answer:

Stopping GSE on wet surfaces requires a longer distance. Adjust your reaction time and braking distance accordingly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stopping GSE (greatest possible stopping distance) on wet surfaces requires a longer distance compared to dry surfaces. When driving on wet surfaces, the tires have less traction, which means it takes more time and distance to bring the vehicle to a stop.

To adjust your stopping distance accordingly, you should increase the following factors:

Reaction time: Since it takes longer to stop on wet surfaces, you need to react earlier when you see a hazard ahead.

Braking distance: Increase the distance at which you start applying the brakes to allow for the longer stopping time.
