On a cold, damp morning, the road you drive on is only wet, and the temperature is near freezing. Where should you expect ice first?
Blue A travels on a wet road on a near-freezing morning, without a highlighted hazard location.
Correct answer: On bridges, overpasses and shaded spots, since these freeze first.
Why
Ice on bridges and in shade is often hard to see until you are on it. Slow down before you reach these spots, and do not brake or steer suddenly while you cross them. A car ahead may have crossed the icy part and stopped, so leave extra space.
