Why can black ice be difficult to recognize on a road?
Correct answer: It is a thin, transparent layer, so the pavement shows through.
Why
Black ice is a thin layer of transparent ice on a road or other paved surface. Because the surface beneath can show through, its appearance may not reveal how little grip is available. Slow down for icy or slippery conditions, use small smooth steering movements and gentle acceleration and braking, and leave more following space. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
