Depending on how heavy it is and visibility/reacting to hazards wise you'd go slower as a result. And that's only if it's torrential, if it's just a 'normal' downpour you can drive at the roads limit.

Also if it's raining there's a good chance you won't get asked to open the car bonnet & do the oil engine checks etc.
(not that you shouldn't know them anyway of course:) )

You still need to make progress so just above the speed limit on open roads.

Make sure to leave at 4 seconds gaps between you and the vehicles ahead. Really slow down around hazards and have your foot covering the break rather that the accelerator.
