The air temperature is near freezing, and light rain is falling. The road ahead looks wet but not icy. You approach a bridge. What should you do?
A approaches a bridge in light rain. Water and bridge rails identify the crossing; the card gives near-freezing air and a road that looks wet, not icy.
Correct answer: Slow down before the bridge, because it can be icy when the road is only wet
Why
Black ice can form quickly when sleet, freezing rain or snow starts, and it is often hard to see. Bridges and overpasses are often more slippery than the main road. Keep a longer following distance, and steer and brake smoothly across the bridge.
