Explanation
When the road is slippery, the traction between your vehicle's tires and the road surface is reduced, making it more difficult to maintain control. Slowing down and proceeding with caution allows you to have better control over your vehicle, react in a timely manner, and prevent skidding or sliding. Additionally, increasing your following distance gives you more time to stop or maneuver safely if needed.
