You are about to move off in a manual-transmission car on a flat, snow-covered road. What is the best way to start without the wheels spinning?
💡 Hint
Snowy roads have little friction, so the wheels spin easily when a large force reaches them suddenly. Think together about the fact that a lower gear sends more force to the wheels and about how hard you press the accelerator.
Answer: ④
Explanation
Snow offers little grip, so sudden strong force at the wheels makes them spin. In a manual car, starting in 2nd gear, which delivers less torque than 1st, while pressing the accelerator slowly reduces wheelspin (with an automatic, use a low range or snow mode and press the accelerator gently). Starting off hard or swinging the wheel makes skidding worse.
