Question 5845
Driving at a speed above the legal limit or unsafe for the conditions...
- does not influence control of the vehicle.
- does not influence accidents if the condition of the road is adequate.
- influences the risk of a traffic accident occurring.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: influences the risk of a traffic accident occurring.
A speed that doesn't suit the conditions or exceeds the limit increases your chance of having a crash. You travel more meters before stopping, have less time to decide, and find it harder to control the car. This also happens when the road is in good condition.
