Vehicles can easily skid when braking on icy or snowy roads, so drivers should drive at low speed and use engine braking to slow down.

ANSWER · A

Icy and snowy roads are slippery, so emergency braking is not recommended. Reduce speed and use engine braking by shifting gears and releasing the throttle to slow the vehicle. Engine braking uses the engine's compression to slow the vehicle. The brake system, by contrast, applies force via the pedal to push the brake pads against the disc or drum until the vehicle stops.
