Which of the following is NOT true when driving on icy roads?
  1. Drivers should brake hard when they need to stop.
  2. Drivers should avoid passing other vehicles when possible.
  3. Drivers should not use their speed retarders on icy roads.
  4. Drivers should slow down on turns and curves.
Explanation
Answer: A - When driving on icy roads drivers must not brake any harder than is necessary to stop. Hard braking will lock up the wheels and cause the vehicle to skid. This is true for all slick roads, be they iced or simply wet. To avoid hard braking, drivers should watch ahead of them far enough to see potential problems so they may brake gradually.
