Where is black ice likely to occur on the road?

Correct Answer

In sheltered or shaded areas.

Explanation: Black ice is an almost invisible and thin coating of ice on the road surface. Because it is hard to see; it is particularly dangerous. When the temperature drops close to freezing you can expect to see black ice - particularly in sheltered or shaded areas of the roadway under trees or beside high walls. In wintry conditions; if you notice a reduction in tyre noise or if the steering becomes lighter; you should suspect that there may be black ice on the road.
