Does ice reduce the grip of a vehicle's tyres?

Correct answer

Yes

Yes, ice can greatly reduce grip and lengthen braking, in built-up areas as well as outside them. Adapt speed, increase spacing and use smooth controls; do not assume a road category removes the danger. Stop at a lawful, safe place if conditions prevent safe travel. Neither assistance systems nor suitable tyres guarantee adequate grip on every ice patch.
