Weather Visibility EmergenciesStandalone practice
You see a red light well ahead on an icy road, with time to make a planned stop. How should you approach it?
Correct answer: Slow early and brake smoothly, leaving extra stopping space
Why
Reduce speed early and leave more space than on a dry road. For this planned stop, apply the brakes smoothly. Emergency braking is a different situation: know your braking system; with ABS, use firm continuous pressure and do not pump the pedal, following the vehicle manual.
