Plessy v. Ferguson, legal case in which the U.S. Supreme Court, on May 18, 1896, by a seven-to-one majority (one justice did not participate), advanced the controversial “separate but equal” doctrine for assessing the constitutionality of racial segregation laws. Plessy v. Ferguson was the first major inquiry into the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment’s (1868) equal-protection clause, which prohibits the states from denying “equal protection of the laws” to any person within their jurisdictions. Although the majority opinion did not contain the phrase “separate but equal,” it gave constitutional sanction to laws designed to achieve racial segregation by means of separate and supposedly equal public facilities and services for African Americans and whites. It served as a controlling judicial precedent until it was overturned by the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954).

tangare [24]

Answer:visibility, traction, speed, distance

Explanation: Visibility is reduced when there are heavy rains or any other extreme weather conditions which means the driver will be unable to see clearly while driving on the road.

Which means they may not see what crosses in front of them or may not even be able to predict or see what's the other driver intends to do leading to collisions.

It may hinder their ability to react in time.

They have to slow down to the point where they even go below the actual average driving speed because the road becomes slippery which may mean the car may roll over if its heavy rains or they may even be things flying to the road.

They have to keep a double safe following distance , double than of the normal following distance since extreme weather conditions introduces so many different risks such as not be able to see a standing car on the road or the the crossing animals.
