Question 1

Question 2

On a snowy road, you should increase your following distance to at least:

Accepted Answer

8 to 10 seconds

Answer

On snow or ice, stopping distances can triple, so a following distance of 8–10 seconds is recommended.

Question 3

What is 'black ice'?

Accepted Answer

A thin, nearly transparent layer of ice that is very slippery

Answer

Black ice is a thin, transparent ice layer that blends with the road surface, making it nearly invisible and extremely slippery.

Question 4

When should you activate your vehicle's four-wheel drive (4WD) on icy roads?

Accepted Answer

Before entering slippery conditions, at low speed

Four-wheel drive should be engaged before slippery conditions at low speed; engaging it mid-skid or at high speed is less effective and can damage the system.

Pull completely off the road, turn off driving lights, and keep hazard lights on
