Correct answer
driving must be smooth, without sudden steering movements or sudden changes.
Drive smoothly, adapt speed and increase separation; following closely to use another vehicle’s tracks increases risk. Tracks may be icy and do not guarantee better grip. When chains are needed, follow manufacturer instructions and applicable directions: they do not always go on the front wheels, since driven wheels and vehicle design matter. If safe travel is impossible, stop somewhere safe and permitted.
