What is the most effective driving technique when starting off on ice or packed snow?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Start off gently in second gear using low engine revolutions
- Step 1: Snow and ice traction technique. Step 2. Second gear reduces torque delivered to wheels, preventing wheelspin and allowing tires to grip packed snow. Answer: Start off gently in second gear using low engine revolutions. Why not the others: Spinning tires polishes snow into slick ice; pumping pedal breaks traction; reverse gear does not aid forward start.
