Question 4696
Most traffic accidents caused by mechanical failure...
- can be avoided with proper vehicle inspection and maintenance.
- cannot be avoided, because there is no way to know when they will happen.
- can be avoided by reducing speed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: can be avoided with proper vehicle inspection and maintenance.
The mechanical problems most common in accidents, such as tires or brakes in poor condition, can be detected during an inspection. If you fix them in time, they will not fail you on the road. Slowing down does not fix a mechanical problem.
