Questions Learners Have About Speed in Bad Weather

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Speed in Bad Weather, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

Why is adjusting my speed important in bad weather for the Dutch driving exam?

Adjusting your speed in bad weather is crucial for safety and a key part of the Dutch driving theory exam. It demonstrates your ability to react to changing conditions, which often make the legal speed limit unsafe. The CBR expects you to drive defensively and adapt to maintain control.

How does heavy rain affect braking distance in the Netherlands?

Heavy rain significantly increases braking distance and can lead to aquaplaning. Water on the road, especially after a dry spell, mixes with oil and dirt, creating a very slippery surface. Always reduce your speed and increase following distance in rainy conditions to compensate for this.

What specific speed adjustments should I make when driving in thick fog?

When driving in thick fog with visibility less than 50 metres, you should reduce your speed by half and double your following distance. Use your rear fog lights in addition to front fog lights. Avoid sudden braking and release the accelerator smoothly if visibility unexpectedly worsens.

Is the speed limit always the safe speed to drive in the Netherlands?

No, the legal speed limit is the maximum allowed speed, not necessarily a safe speed. Drivers must always adjust their speed to the prevailing conditions, including weather, visibility, traffic, and road surface. In adverse conditions like rain, fog, or ice, you must drive significantly slower than the posted limit to ensure safety.

How should I handle my speed if I encounter icy patches on the road?

On icy roads, avoid any abrupt actions like sudden braking or steering. Release the accelerator smoothly to gradually reduce speed. Do not press the clutch pedal unless necessary, as this can reduce control. Wait until your speed is low and you regain traction before attempting any significant steering or braking.
