When driving in snow or ice, you should:

  1. Drive slowly

  2. Not use your brakes

  3. Not drive in snow or ice

  4. Press the gas pedal

The correct answer is: Drive slowly

Driving slowly is the safest option when driving in snow or ice. This gives you more time to react to any slippery conditions and lower speeds allow your tires to have better contact with the road. Not using brakes at all is also not advised, as it can cause your vehicle to spin out of control. Avoiding driving in snow or ice is also not always possible, so the best option is to drive slowly and carefully. Finally, pressing the gas pedal can cause your wheels to spin and lose traction, making you slide or get stuck.
