On rainy days the road surface is slippery, so a car's stopping distance becomes shorter than usual.

雨の日は路面が滑るため、自動車の停止距離はふだんより短くなる。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

False. The rules state that on rainy days the slippery road surface makes a car's stopping distance longer, not shorter. Pedestrians also lose their footing more easily, so do not cross the road when it is unsafe to do so, and never dart out into traffic.

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。
