Question 2366
What should a driver do upon encountering ice on the roadway?
- Drive in first gear, which is the lowest gear.
- Accelerate to get out of the area quickly.
- Drive smoothly and, when necessary, brake and accelerate carefully.

Correct answer: Drive smoothly and, when necessary, brake and accelerate carefully.
On ice, you must reduce your speed and operate the controls gently. Braking or accelerating abruptly can cause the tires to lose traction.
