Low Traction Road Surface

Published February 11, 2019 By Mick Farmer

Unsealed roads, particularly when dry, need to be treated as a low traction surface.

Be sure to manage speed and space.  Allow for considerably longer braking distances.  A 20-sec gap may be necessary to keep out of the dust cloud of the vehicle(s) in front.
