Why should you leave a much larger following distance on an icy road?

251. Why should you leave a much larger following distance on an icy road?

✓ Because stopping distances can be much longer.
To give the engine more time to warm up.
To make the headlights work more effectively.
To prevent ice from forming on the windscreen.

Tyres have much less grip on ice, so braking takes longer. Extra distance gives you more time to slow down safely.
