What should you expect if you turn at an intersection covered with ice?

On an icy surface, the grip of the wheels on the road is minimal, which drastically increases the risk of skidding, especially when turning. Even at a low speed, the centrifugal force acting on the vehicle in a bend can easily break the grip and cause a loss of control. According to art. 19 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver is obliged to adapt their speed to the prevailing conditions, which in this situation means driving very slowly and smoothly.
