Question 5971

When must you keep especially close to the right edge of the roadway?

  1. When driving in the direction opposite to the usual one.
  2. When driving through changes in road grade or curves with reduced visibility.
  3. When traffic is congested.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: When driving through changes in road grade or curves with reduced visibility.

As a general rule, you drive on the right, close to the edge, but at changes in road grade or curves with limited visibility, you must keep even closer because oncoming traffic can appear suddenly. In the image, the white van is coming around the curve, and there is only enough room for you to meet safely if you both stay close to your own edge.
