Safe DrivingQuestion 59 of 80
On slippery roads, a bus driver should:
a.Slow down and increase following distance
b.Speed up to reduce time on the road
c.Brake hard at every curve
d.Follow closely to draft other vehicles
Explanation
Wet, icy, or snowy roads greatly reduce traction, so reduce speed and allow more following distance and stopping room. Braking, turning, and accelerating must all be done gently to avoid a skid. A loaded bus takes longer to stop, so plan far ahead.
