What are some signs of black ice?

Steering feels light and tyres may sound quieter on the road
Steering feels heavy and tyres make a loud noise
Brakes make a screeching sound
You can see it clearly ahead

The correct answer is: Steering feels light and tyres may sound quieter on the road

When driving on black ice, the thickness and slippery texture of the ice can cause the steering wheel to feel light and the tires to sound quieter as they struggle to grip the road. This is because the ice is not only reducing the friction between your tires and the road, but also making your vehicle more difficult to control. Option B is incorrect because heavy steering and loud tire noises are not typically associated with black ice. Option C is incorrect because the brakes may not make a sound on black ice, and if they do, it would likely be a scraping or grinding noise rather than a screeching sound. Option D is incorrect because black ice is transparent and therefore cannot be seen on the road, making it even more dangerous for drivers.
