Explanation
On slippery surfaces, such as ice and packed snow, your vehicle's traction is significantly reduced, increasing the risk of skidding. When approaching curves and intersections, slow down to prevent skidding on slippery surfaces. Reducing your speed allows for better maneuverability and increases the time you have to react to changing road conditions.
