When weather conditions require you to use extra caution, you should:

Tailgate
Increase speed
Reduce speed
Ignore signs

The correct answer is: Reduce speed

It is important to reduce your speed when weather conditions are unfavorable because it can affect your visibility and the ability for your vehicle to stop quickly. Tailgating, increasing speed, or ignoring signs can all increase your risk of getting into an accident. Tailgating removes a safe following distance, increasing speed makes it harder for you to stop in time, and ignoring signs can lead to not being prepared for hazards on the road. By reducing your speed, you give yourself more time to react to any potential dangers and maintain better control of your vehicle.
