Vehicle handling

How much greater can your stopping distance be on an icy road?

  • About the same as on a dry road
  • Twice as great
  • Half as great
  • Up to ten times greater
    Correct

Why?

Rule 126 of The Highway Code says stopping distances increase greatly in bad weather — at least double in the wet and up to ten times greater on ice. Leave a much larger gap to the vehicle in front so you can stop safely.

Highway Code rules 126, 230
