Question 802
When driving on a snow-covered roadway, when is the danger greatest?
- When the snow freezes and turns to ice.
- When the snow has already been driven over.
- When the snow is soft.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: When the snow freezes and turns to ice.
When snow turns to ice, traction decreases especially sharply. The danger is therefore greater than on snow that has not yet frozen.
