Why should you increase your following distance even further than usual when driving a combination vehicle in fog or heavy rain?

Pick an answer

2. Reduced visibility and traction both extend the distance needed to see a hazard and then stop for it
3. Fog and rain only affect how far ahead you can see, not how far the vehicle actually needs to stop
4. Increasing distance in poor weather is a courtesy, not a safety need
