Driving on icy roads can increase braking distance by up to how many times?

I'm due to take my Driving theory soon. I'm sure there was a question the last time (because I failed) that said something about breaking distance being increased up to so many times when driving in icy conditions.

Does any1 know up to how many times breaking distance is increased?

yes 10 times greater is the stopping distance in icy weather but i think you may to do more revision, read the highway code book again, all the answers are in there good luk though on your test. if really stuck ask your driving instruter

10 times for ice
I believe it increases by 2 or 4 for wet weather i cant remember which..

up to 10 times... in snow and ice

right left hand. 20-30-40-50-60-70

times 1
times 1.5
x2, x2.5, x3, x3.5

so, 30mph is x 1.5 (45ft) PLUS the MPH your doing 30, =75 feet...

I don't know what distance they put in the highway code, but ice on a slope can mean your car won't stop at all till either you hit something or run out of ice.
