You drive on the interstate with the cruise control set at the speed limit. Snow starts to fall, and the road becomes slippery. What should you do?
Blue car A travels in the right interstate lane as snow falls. A separate state panel reads “CRUISE ON.” No braking, acceleration or switch-off action is shown.
Correct answer: Turn off the cruise control, slow down, and control the speed with the accelerator
Why
On a slippery road, your speed must change with the conditions, and cruise control cannot feel a loss of traction. If a skid starts, you must first react and then turn off the system, and that takes time. Most skids occur because drivers do not adjust their speed to the road conditions.
