What action should you take when driving on icy roads?

  1. Continue driving normally

  2. Reduce speed to a crawl and stop driving as soon as safe

  3. Speed up to get off the icy patch quickly

  4. Turn on hazard lights and continue driving

The correct answer is: Reduce speed to a crawl and stop driving as soon as safe

When driving on icy roads, the best action to take is to reduce speed to a crawl and stop driving as soon as it is safe to do so. This approach minimizes the risk of losing control of the vehicle due to decreased traction on ice. Icy conditions can lead to skidding and significantly increase stopping distances, so slowing down allows for better handling and reaction time. Additionally, if conditions become too severe, stopping safely reduces the risk of accidents and gives you time to assess the situation, find safe routes, or wait for conditions to improve.
