Question 3031

In a city, is it important not to drive faster than 50 kilometers per hour?

  1. Yes, so that if a pedestrian is struck, they have a better chance of surviving.
  2. No, especially on wide streets and avenues.
  3. Yes, but only to avoid being penalized for speeding.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, so that if a pedestrian is struck, they have a better chance of surviving.

The lower the speed, the greater a pedestrian's chances of surviving being struck by a vehicle. This is why it is important not to exceed the applicable urban speed limit.
