When approaching an uncontrolled intersection on a slippery road, you should:

• A. Reduce speed and increase following distance.
• B. Speed up to clear the intersection.
• C. Stop in the middle of intersection.
• D. Ignore road conditions.

Answer: (A)

On slippery roads, you have less grip, so your braking and steering responses are slower and stopping distances are longer. Approaching an uncontrolled intersection with that reduced traction, the safest move is to slow down and keep more space ahead of you. Reducing speed gives you better control and more time to judge any cross traffic or pedestrians, while increasing following distance provides a bigger safety buffer if the vehicle in front slows suddenly or if you need to stop unexpectedly. This careful approach helps you navigate the intersection safely even without signs or signals. Speeding up would drastically reduce your control and increase the chance of sliding or failing to stop in time. Stopping in the middle of the intersection blocks traffic and creates a hazard for others. Ignoring road conditions is unsafe and illegal.
