Explanation
Driving becomes more challenging when roads are wet, snowy, or icy. To brake safely on slippery surfaces, apply brakes gently, increasing pressure only if you feel the tires maintaining grip. Avoid braking so hard that the wheels lock. If wheels do lock, ease pressure slightly (but don't release completely), then reapply brakes gently. Repeat until you regain full control.
