Explanation
When driving on wet, icy, or otherwise slippery roads, always increase your following distance and slow down - even below the posted speed limit. Slippery surfaces reduce traction, making it harder to stop or change direction quickly, and increasing the risk of skidding. Stay alert to changing road conditions, and avoid sudden braking, acceleration, or sharp turns to maintain control of your vehicle.
