On a cold winter morning, the road has been dry and clear for miles. Ahead is a long bridge in the shade of trees. What is the safest plan?
Blue A approaches a long shaded bridge on a dry-looking two-way road. Trees stand on the approach bank. The card states a cold winter morning. No ice, speed choice or control point is selected.
Correct answer: Slow down before the bridge and avoid sudden braking or steering on it
Why
A bridge loses heat from above and below, so it freezes before the road next to it, and shaded spots stay icy longer. Ice can be almost invisible. Slow down before you reach the bridge, keep a longer gap, and cross with steady speed and steering, because locked brakes on ice take away your steering control.
