How does snow and ice affect driving conditions?
Snow and ice covering the road surface cause a reduction in friction between the car tyres and the ground (as you know walking on ice is slippery). This means that the wheels lose traction to propel, stop and steer the car. To overcome this, in countries where the roads ice over in winter, the law requires drivers to change all tyres to "winter" types which have metal studs in them. The metal studs allow the wheels to grip and make it safe to drive.
