Correct answer
Ride very slowly and smoothly, maintaining generous safety margins.
Ride very slowly and smoothly, leaving generous clearance from other road users and obstacles. Snow and ice greatly reduce grip; no gear or clutch position guarantees a safe climb. Avoid abrupt inputs and seek safe shelter promptly. If you cannot maintain control, do not attempt to continue over a dangerous surface; stop somewhere safe.
