Questions Learners Have About Driving on Snow & Ice

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Driving on Snow & Ice, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

How do I recognise black ice on Dutch roads?

Black ice is often transparent and can look like a wet patch, making it extremely difficult to spot. It commonly forms in shaded areas, on bridges, and overpasses, which freeze faster and stay frozen longer. Be vigilant for a sudden change in road appearance, especially when temperatures are around 4°C or below, as ground frost can also create invisible slippery patches.

What is the most important rule for driving on snow and ice?

The most crucial rule is to avoid abrupt actions. This means no sudden braking, sharp steering, or quick acceleration. All control inputs should be gentle and smooth to maintain the limited traction available and prevent skidding. Releasing the accelerator early is often safer than sudden braking.

How does this practice set help with the Dutch driving theory exam?

This practice set is specifically designed to simulate CBR-style questions focusing on driving in snow and icy conditions in the Netherlands. It covers essential rules, risk assessment, and safe driving techniques to ensure you are well-prepared for these challenging scenarios on your official exam, enhancing your chances of passing.

Should I use fog lights when driving in snow in the Netherlands?

According to Dutch traffic rules, you should use front fog lights only if visibility is less than 200 metres due to snow. If visibility drops below 50 metres, you must also use your rear fog lights. Always assess visibility carefully and use lights appropriately, keeping in mind that snow can significantly reduce clarity.

What's the difference between driving on fresh snow and compacted ice?

Fresh snow can offer slightly more grip than compacted ice, but both significantly reduce traction. Compacted ice, especially black ice, is extremely slippery and provides very little grip, demanding even slower speeds and gentler controls. Fresh snow can obscure road markings and deepen with drifts, requiring careful observation and maintaining momentum. Always assume the worst conditions.
