BDifficulty 2/5

If traffic is permitted but the road is icy, which behaviour is safer?

Correct answer

Reduce speed, increase distance and act smoothly.

Reduce speed, increase your following distance and use the steering, accelerator and brakes smoothly. Use appropriate equipment and observe restrictions and instructions. Ice severely reduces grip and no tyre or device guarantees complete safety; if you cannot continue safely, avoid proceeding and stop somewhere safe.
