Correct answer
an increase in the braking distance.
The braking distance of any vehicle depends on factors such as the grip of the tyres, the correct functioning of the brakes, and the condition of the carriageway. Therefore, on a wet, icy, or greasy carriageway, the tyres will not grip the asphalt as firmly, causing the braking distance to be much longer, potentially doubling compared to a road with dry asphalt.
