Best Answer

Black ice - is simply a thin layer of ice which is allowing the dark road colour to show through (as opposed to the normal grey/white colour) - It's dangerous because it's hard to see, and only a thin layer on a road surface will remove all the traction from vehicle tyres.

Why is black ice considered dangerous on roads?

Black ice is considered dangerous on roadways because it is very difficult for drivers to see, and therefore they may not be aware that they are driving in icy conditions. If the driver has not seen standing patches of snow or ice on the road and hits black ice, the driver may not react appropriately to regain control of the vehicle. Failure to regain control of the vehicle can result in a crash.
