If you are caught on icy roads with manual transmission and conventional tires, starting off may be easier if you start with the gear lever in...?

1st
2nd
3rd
Neutral

The correct answer is: 2nd

Starting off on icy roads can be challenging, especially with manual transmission and conventional tires. It is important to remember that lower gears provide more traction and control. While first gear (option A) may seem like the obvious choice, it can cause the wheels to spin and lose traction on icy roads. Starting in third gear (option C) or neutral (option D) may result in slipping or stalling of the vehicle. Therefore, starting off in second gear (option B) is the most effective option as it provides enough power without compromising control and traction on icy roads.
