Driving on slippery roads can be dangerous and increase the risk of accidents. When roads are slippery due to rain, snow, or sleet, the tires lose traction and can cause the vehicle to slide or skid. Slowing down reduces the chances of losing control of the vehicle, giving you more time to react to unexpected situations.
