In icy or snowy conditions, in what gear and speed should you drive?

Answer: A — In the highest gear possible at a slow speed

In icy or snowy conditions, it is important to maintain control of your vehicle by driving at a slow speed. This allows you to easily maneuver and react to any potential hazards on the road. Driving in the highest gear possible also reduces the risk of your wheels spinning and losing traction on the slippery surface. Choosing a higher gear also helps to conserve fuel and prevents your engine from revving too high. Options B and D are incorrect because driving in the lowest gear possible at a high speed or disregarding gear completely can increase the likelihood of losing control of the vehicle. Option C is also incorrect as driving in the middle gear may not provide enough control and may lead to the wheels spinning.
