Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
It is a cold, wet morning, and the temperature is near freezing. Most of the road looks only wet. Where should you expect ice first?
Correct answer: On bridges, overpasses and shady spots
Why
Black ice is a thin, clear coat of ice that can look like wet pavement. Slow down before bridges and shaded curves, and avoid sudden braking or steering. Ice that starts to melt near freezing is even more slippery.
