Question 5635

When there is snow on the roadway, how should you start moving?

  1. Using the lowest possible gear.
  2. Pressing the clutch pedal before pressing the brake pedal.
  3. Using the highest possible gear.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Using the highest possible gear.

To pull away on snow, use the highest gear that lets you get moving, usually second. This sends less force to the wheels so they do not spin or sink. Keep the wheels straight, release the clutch very slowly, and accelerate gently. The lowest gear sends too much force to the wheels.
