When driving in heavy rain, you should:

Slow down and remain in the same lane
Use the highest gear possible
Increase your speed to keep up with traffic
Decrease your speed to increase traction

The correct answer is: Decrease your speed to increase traction

Driving in heavy rain can be dangerous, and it is important to adjust your driving accordingly. Option A is incorrect because maintaining the same speed can increase the chances of hydroplaning and losing control of your vehicle. Option B is also incorrect because using a higher gear can decrease your traction and control on wet roads. Option C is incorrect because increasing your speed to match traffic can also be unsafe due to decreased visibility and potential for accidents. Decreasing your speed, as in option D, can help increase traction and stability on wet roads.
