When applying the brakes of a moped on a wet road surface, how does the braking distance behave?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Water on the road surface noticeably reduces the coefficient of friction and the grip between the tire and the road. Because of that loss of friction, the vehicle takes longer to stop and the braking distance increases, to as much as double that on a dry surface. Saying that the distance stays the same as on dry ground is incorrect, because water drastically reduces grip. Claiming that it decreases is false: lower grip never shortens braking.
