What should you do if you encounter a road that appears to be covered in ice?

When encountering a road that appears to be covered in ice, the safest action is to reduce speed and drive cautiously. Icing creates a very slippery surface that can lead to loss of traction, making it difficult to control the vehicle. By slowing down, you give yourself more time to react to any potential hazards and reduce the distance needed to stop.

Driving cautiously means being aware of your surroundings, maintaining a greater distance from other vehicles, and being prepared for unexpected movements. This approach minimizes the risk of skidding or losing control, significantly enhancing your safety on slippery surfaces.
