Question 6130

Can a driver do anything to reduce the probability of having an accident due to the "road and environment factor"?

  1. Only if their vehicle has the latest advances in passive safety.
  2. Yes, by adapting their driving to the surrounding conditions.
  3. No, because they cannot act on the road or on its surroundings.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, by adapting their driving to the surrounding conditions.

Yes. You cannot change the road or the weather, but you can adapt your speed and driving to them. When the roadway is wet, as in the image, drive more slowly. This applies to any car because passive safety does not prevent a crash; it reduces its consequences.
