Past simple or past continuous

Hello,

In which of these situations is it possible to use either past continuous or past simple?

It wasn't raining/didn't rain when I got up.

Yesterday, she was walking/walked along the road when she met Jim.

Did you see Jane last night?
Yes, she was wearing/wore a very nice jacket.
What did you do/were you doing at 2 o'clock this morning.

How fast did you drive/were you driving when police stopped you.

When is it possible to use either generally?

Thanks
