Manitoba Class 3 Drivers Licence Practice Test

Accelerating quickly can cause the tires to lose traction and spin, making it even more dangerous on icy roads. Checking the outside temperature may provide some information, but it is not a reliable method for determining if the road surface is icy. Starting out at a slow speed and testing the steering and brakes allows the driver to feel the response of the car and make adjustments accordingly, maximizing safety on icy roads. Choosing "All of the above" is incorrect because while checking outside temperature and accelerating quickly may be factors, the most important action is to test the car's response at a slow speed.
