Which of the following actions may contribute to an increase in safety level while driving on the road covered with snow?
aBraking only with a hand brake.
bUsing winter tires.
cDecided speeding up.
Why?
Winter tyres use a rubber compound and tread pattern that provide better grip on snow than summer tyres. They help with moving off, braking and maintaining direction. Using only the handbrake can cause a skid, while hard acceleration can make the wheels spin.
