Explanation
Driving in icy or snowy conditions can be extremely dangerous. Clearing accumulated ice and snow from your vehicle before driving improves visibility and prevents debris from flying off and endangering other drivers.

Reducing your speed allows more time to react to hazards and lowers the risk of skidding or losing control.
