On slippery roads you should avoid using what?

• A. Not use cruise control
• B. Increase following distance
• C. Brake sharply
• D. Tailgate

Answer: (A)

On slippery roads you need to keep direct, manual control of your speed and braking because reduced traction makes automated inputs risky. Cruise control holds a steady speed and can prevent you from sensing or reacting quickly to a loss of grip, which can let a skid develop. The safest approach is to drive with active throttle control and gentle, controlled braking, and if you start to slide, disengage cruise control to regain immediate control. You should also increase following distance and avoid braking sharply or tailgating, since these actions can trigger or worsen a loss of control on slick surfaces.
