Wait until it warms up and melts
Same reason you fall when its icy.
yes. if it is icy.
car, it creates more friction
A car skidding on an icy road will exhibit kinetic friction, which is the force that resists the motion of two surfaces sliding against each other. The low coefficient of friction between the icy road and the car's tires makes it easier for the car to skid.
The car continues in the direction it was heading when traction was lost
Sliding Friction
Defrost the windshields so you can see where you are going. Useful in icy climates.
double the distance
There is too many factors to narrow the stopping distance down to a specific stopping distance. One of these factors is speed many people often are going to fast in icy condition causing horrible car pile-ups and many crashes. People need to be more cautious in icy conditions.
Second in town, third to fourth on the highway, depending how icy it is and the speed of traffic. It is better to let the engine slow a car on ice than to use the brakes.
the best car for icy roads are rally cars with studed tyres or good off road cars with good grip tyres
Only if you were driving too fast for conditions.
