As soon as bad weather is encountered, you should...?

  1. increase speed

  2. maintain your speed

  3. slow down

  4. stop immediately

The correct answer is: slow down

Bad weather can greatly affect your visibility and control, making it more dangerous to drive at the same speed as you normally would. Increasing your speed (Option A) would only worsen the situation, putting yourself and others at risk. Maintaining speed (Option B) may seem like a safe course of action, but it still puts you at a higher risk of losing control of your vehicle. Stopping immediately (Option D) is also not advised as it could potentially cause traffic accidents or pile-ups on the road. Slowing down (Option C) is the best option because it allows you to maintain control of your vehicle while adjusting to the hazardous conditions.
