# MenkyoQuest — Question ch2_q057

Chapter: Ch. 2 Pedestrian Conduct
Section: 第６節 雨の日などに歩くとき
Type: True/False
Difficulty: medium

## Question
Crossing recklessly or dashing out into traffic on rainy days is especially dangerous because the stopping distance of vehicles becomes shorter.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
The text states, "The road surface becomes slippery, which increases the stopping distance of vehicles." On rainy days, the stopping distance becomes "longer," not "shorter." Crossing recklessly or dashing out becomes dangerous because the stopping distance increases, so this statement is incorrect.

## Driving school curriculum
Stage 1 – Topic 8: Protection of pedestrians

## Source passage (Rules of the Road)
２ 雨の日などは、路面が滑るために、自動車の停止距離が長くなつたり、歩行者も転びやすくなつたりして危険ですから、無理な横断や飛び出しをしないように注意しましよう。
