Correct answer
Loss of grip and sliding.
Loss of grip and sliding, particularly critical for two-wheeled vehicles. Packed snow turning into ice can be very slippery. Reduce speed, increase following distance and use smooth steering, throttle and brake inputs; follow restrictions and required equipment. Use lighting suited to conditions, but lighting cannot substitute for grip or remove this risk.
