Highway hazards are a common problem for drivers, and can include SLEET (5 letters), RUT (3 letters), FOG (3 letters), ICE (3 letters), SLOWPOKE (8 letters), SPEED (5 letters), ESS (3 letters), SKID (4 letters), pothole (7 letters), roadhog (7 letters), and speedtrap (9 letters). SLEET is a type of frozen precipitation that can make roads slippery and difficult to navigate. Rutting is when the pavement becomes uneven due to wear and tear, making it difficult to stay in one's lane. FOG is a weather phenomenon that reduces visibility, making it hard to see other cars or obstacles. ICE is a frozen form of water that can cause vehicles to SKID and lose control. SLOWPOKE is a term used to describe a driver who is driving too slowly. SPEED is the rate at which a vehicle is traveling, and can be dangerous if it is too high. ESS stands for Emergency SPEED System, which is a system designed to reduce SPEED on highways. Skidding occurs when a vehicle loses traction with the road, making it difficult to control. Potholes are depressions in the road that can cause damage to vehicles. Roadhogs are drivers who take up more than one lane on the highway. Speedtraps are areas where police officers monitor SPEED limits and issue tickets to drivers who are going too fast.
