In Portugal, slippery hazards include roads wet with rain (especially after dry spells when oil and dust mix), fallen autumn leaves, ice and frost (particularly in colder inland or northern regions), loose gravel on rural roads, and significantly, wet painted road markings and metal surfaces like manhole covers.
When roads are wet from rain, especially at the start of rainfall, reduce your speed, increase your following distance, and avoid sudden braking or steering. Be particularly cautious of oil and dust mixing with water, creating a very slick surface.
While ice is less common in warmer coastal areas, it is a real concern in northern and inland regions of Portugal during winter, particularly at higher altitudes or during early morning hours. Drivers must be prepared for potential ice and frost by reducing speed and driving gently.
Painted road markings, such as pedestrian crossings or arrows, provide very little grip when wet. This poses a significant danger as tires can lose traction easily, making them particularly hazardous for motorcyclists who have less contact patch.
If your vehicle skids, the general advice is to gently ease off the accelerator, avoid braking sharply, and steer into the skid (in the direction you want the front of the car to go). Look where you want to go and make small, smooth steering corrections. Prevention through reduced speed and increased distance is always best.
The Portuguese Código da Estrada mandates that drivers always adjust their speed and driving behavior to suit the prevailing road, weather, and traffic conditions. This includes taking extra precautions on slippery surfaces to ensure safety and maintain control of the vehicle.
By completing Slippery Roads & Hazards, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Portugal. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
