A road is likely to be most slippery:
|
In spring.
|
|
|
In cold, dry weather.
|
|
|
When tire marks have been left by other vehicles.
|
|
|
When icy and the temperature is near freezing.
|
Explanation
When the temperature is near the freezing point, ice on the road can become wet and more slippery than at temperatures well below freezing. This makes it harder for your vehicle's tires to grip the road surface, which can result in less control and increased risk of a crash. Always drive slower and more cautiously when the road is icy and the temperature is near freezing.
