BDifficulty 2/5

At the same speed and with other conditions unchanged, what can increase braking distance compared with a dry road with good grip?

Correct answer

Snow or ice on the road.

Snow or ice reduces grip and can greatly increase braking distance. The increase depends on conditions: there is no fixed multiplier valid in every case. Reduce speed, anticipate braking and increase separation.
