Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, it is always a risk factor.

According to DGT Manual II, speed is always a risk factor because it worsens the consequences of any crash for occupants and pedestrians. Driving at an appropriate speed greatly reduces the risk but does not eliminate it, and the vehicle's safety systems do not eliminate it either.
