What percentage of crashes occur in the snow?

• A. 4%
• B. 16%
• C. 10%
• D. 7%

Answer: (D)

Snow dramatically changes driving conditions by creating slick surfaces, reduced traction, and longer stopping distances, so crashes that happen specifically in snowy conditions form a distinct slice of all crashes. The figure used in many driver-training materials places this share at about seven percent, which is why this option is the best choice. It captures the notable impact of snow without overstating it. The other numbers would either understate or overstate how often snowy conditions are involved: four percent is too low, while ten or sixteen percent would imply a larger role for snow than these safety statistics typically show.
