A slippery road is any road surface that reduces tire traction, making it easier for vehicles to slide, skid, or lose control. Slippery conditions are especially dangerous when accelerating, braking, or turning, and they require extra caution from drivers. A slippery road can catch you off guard and reduce your control—drive slower, smoother, and more alert to stay safe in tricky conditions.
