Vehicle ControlDifficulty: 2/5

You are driving on a residential road on a frosty morning and the surface looks icy. How should you adjust your driving to reduce the risk of skidding?

Explanation

The Highway Code (Rule 230) states that in icy or snowy weather you must drive with great care. You should drive much more slowly, leave a bigger gap to the vehicle in front, and brake and steer very gently to avoid skidding. Braking firmly, following too closely, or using sharp steering movements can easily cause loss of control on ice.
