Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: can be reduced by avoiding risk factors.
Risk factors such as alcohol, drowsiness, or snow increase the likelihood of a crash. Many are within your control, and you can also reduce risks related to the road or vehicle, for example by slowing down on a snowy road like the one in the image or checking your tires before setting out. Your driving skill is only one part of it.
