Even though you have an anti-lock braking system, you'll want to begin stopping sooner than you would on dry pavement. The road might be fine until you hit a spot that's covered with ice. On an otherwise clearroad, ice patches may appear in shaded areas where the sun can't reach: around clumps of trees, behind buildings, or under bridges. Sometimes the surface of a curve or an overpass may remain icy when the surrounding roads are clear.
