Judgment, distance, and maximum car capabilities. B.) Road, weather, and traffic conditions. C.) Brakes, steering, and acceleration. D.) BAC, DWI, or fatigue. The best way to stop quickly on snow or ice is to jam on the brakes. In a skid, the best way to regain steering control is to release all braking and accelerating input. Hydroplaning happens when... A.) Your tires ride on the surface of the water like a water ski. B.) The chassis lifts slightly, giving you a floating sensation when traveling at high speeds. C.) You overextend the G-force in a turn. D.) You go over a bump in the road too fast, and the vehicle goes slightly airborne. Most accidents that happen during heavy fog are primarily caused by the fog. Though it is illegal, speeding during rush hour will help you get where you are going faster. When entering a freeway, get up to speed, signal and then merge from... A.) The right lane B.)

Decrease your acceleration to increase your engine�s pulling power. D.) Shift to a lower gear to increase your engine�s pulling power. Speeding reduces... A.) Gas Mileage B.) Tire Pressure C.) Options D.) Risks The number one thing to remember about driving during inclement weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.) is that the three second rule ALWAYS applies. The first thing to understand about stopping on snow or ice is, �The brakes stop the wheel and the tires stop the vehicle�.
