Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
Freezing rain starts to fall. The road ahead looks only wet, and you are about to cross a bridge. What should you expect?
Blue car A approaches a bridge over a stream on a two-lane road. Rain falls and the pavement has a wet sheen. The card states that freezing rain has begun and the road looks wet.
Correct answer: The bridge can be icy before the rest of the road, so slow down before it
Why
Utah has a special problem with black ice, which causes many skids each year. Reduce speed before you reach bridges and ramps, and avoid hard braking or sudden steering on them. Slippery spots can remain even after road crews clear the road.
