Question 6453

When it starts to snow, must drivers use extreme caution and drive at a moderate speed?

  1. No, they are required to drive at a moderate speed only if the snowfall is heavy.
  2. Yes, and if they are not carrying chains, they will stop the vehicle immediately.
  3. Yes, and they will brake and accelerate smoothly and gradually.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, and they will brake and accelerate smoothly and gradually.

Yes. As soon as it starts snowing, slow to a moderate speed because the first snowflakes make the roadway very slippery. Brake and accelerate gently and gradually, and steer smoothly. You do not need to wait for heavy snowfall. You also do not have to stop immediately if you do not have chains, because they are put on when the roadway is already covered with snow or when a sign or traffic officer requires them.
