When the outside temperature reaches the point where ice begins to melt, roads will normally become:
  1. Less slippery
  2. More slippery
  3. Stay the same in terms of slipperiness
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: B - It may surprise some drivers, but when temperatures go up high enough to begin melting ice from roadways, roads will become even more slippery for a while. This is because while some of the ice has melted, much of it remains. Drivers must now contend with both ice and water. The best policy when driving in this condition is to slow down and avoid hard braking.
