Question 3770
In winter conditions, to maintain good tire grip, we should...
- drive a little faster than in summer to make sure the engine stays warm.
- avoid sudden movements to reduce the possibility of skidding.
- always pump the brakes hard when necessary.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: avoid sudden movements to reduce the possibility of skidding.
In winter, on snow or ice, tires have little grip, and sudden braking, acceleration, or steering can make the car skid. So accelerate, brake, and steer gently. Driving faster to warm up the engine increases the risk, and pressing the brake hard can lock the wheels.
