When the road is **icy**, the **braking distance increases**. This is because ice reduces the ability of the tires to grip the road, causing the vehicle to skid more easily. Just like in **snow** or **rain** conditions, where more space is also needed to brake due to reduced tire adhesion, ice requires the driver to maintain a greater safety distance from other vehicles and to brake smoothly and in a controlled manner.


In summary, when driving on ice, it is crucial to be aware that the vehicle will need more space to come to a complete stop, which justifies the increase in braking distance under these conditions.
