pop quiz
answer the following question(s) to test your knowledge.
which of the following is a recommended practice to reduce the risk of crashing on snowy or icy roads?
a. drive at least 10 mph under the speed limit and slow down well before stopping
b. maintain normal speed and brake sharply before curves
c. follow closely behind the car in front to increase reaction time

Explanation:

Snowy/icy roads reduce traction, so slower speeds and gradual stopping prevent skidding. Option B (normal speed + sharp braking) increases skid risk; Option C (close following) reduces reaction time. Only Option A aligns with safe driving practices for slippery conditions.

Answer:

A. Drive at least 10 mph under the speed limit and slow down well before stopping
