What behaviour increases the risk of skidding on icy road surfaces?

What behaviour increases the risk of skidding on icy road surfaces?

Description

Road Traffic Act
Explanation

Correct answer: Sudden speed increase.

On the visible snowy and icy road, tire grip is significantly limited. In such conditions, a sudden increase in speed causes a sharp transfer of torque to the wheels, leading to a loss of traction and skidding. Safe driving in winter conditions requires smooth operation of the vehicle's control mechanisms.
