Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
It is near freezing on a winter evening after a light rain. Most of the road looks only wet. Where are you most likely to find ice first?
Correct answer: On bridges and overpasses, and in shaded areas
Why
Ice on a bridge can be hard to see and can surprise you when the rest of the road is only wet. Slow down before you reach a bridge, and do not brake hard or change lanes on it. Keep a slow, steady speed and extra following distance on any surface that may be icy.
