What should you do if you encounter a yellow sign with black lettering indicating a slippery road?

Increase your speed to maintain control.
Brake suddenly to slow down.
Steer in the opposite direction of the skid.
Reduce your speed and drive with caution.

The correct answer is: Reduce your speed and drive with caution.

Yellow signs with black lettering usually indicate a warning or caution of some kind. In this case, the sign indicates a slippery road. Increasing speed or braking suddenly can actually make the situation worse and cause loss of control. Steering in the opposite direction of the skid is also not recommended as it can send the vehicle into a spin. The best course of action is to reduce your speed and drive with caution, allowing for a safe and controlled stop if necessary. It is also important to avoid any sudden or sharp movements of the vehicle to prevent loss of traction on the slippery road surface.
