Question 1369
There is ice on the roadway. What should you do?
- Drive in first gear, which is the lowest gear.
- Accelerate to get off the ice quickly.
- Drive carefully, braking and accelerating gently only when necessary.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Drive carefully, braking and accelerating gently only when necessary.
Ice reduces traction, so you must drive slowly and operate the brake and accelerator gently. Abrupt movements can cause a loss of traction.
