What is black ice?
If you are driving, you’ll need to watch out for black ice.
According to The Weather Channel, black ice is a thin layer of ice that forms on roads and is difficult to see. It’s generally found on bridges, overpasses and spots on the road shaded by trees or other objects.
If roadways are wet from rain, snow or fog and temperatures drop below 32 degrees, black ice can form on roadways.
If you hit black ice, you should do the following:
- Keep your steering wheel straight.
- Do not brake
- Take your foot off the accelerator to reduce speed
