What behaviour should we adopt when driving on an icy roadway?
Safe driving
Explanation
Driving on an **icy road** can be very dangerous due to the lack of tire grip, which makes the vehicle easily skid. To improve safety in these conditions, it is essential to **enhance tire grip**.
- **Studded tires**: These tires are specifically designed to improve traction on icy surfaces. The studs provide better grip by penetrating the ice, reducing the risk of slipping.
- **Snow chains**: Although mainly mentioned for snow, chains can also be useful on icy roads. They are placed on the drive wheels and help improve traction by increasing the contact between the tire and the icy surface.

It is important to remember that, just like when driving in snow, sudden movements should be avoided and a reduced speed should be maintained to minimize the risk of accidents. Additionally, maintaining a greater safety distance from other vehicles is crucial, as the vehicle will need more space to brake on an icy road.
