It takes longer for a car to stop on an icy road than on a dry road due to the significantly reduced friction between the tires and the road surface. Icy conditions create a slippery surface that decreases the tire's grip, leading to longer stopping distances. Additionally, the lack of traction makes it harder for the brakes to effectively slow down the vehicle, resulting in a delayed response when attempting to stop.
