Question 6291

On a curve with reduced visibility, where must you drive?

  1. In the right lane, as close as possible to the centerline of the road.
  2. Occupying part of the lane used by oncoming traffic so you can be seen more easily.
  3. Leaving the half of the roadway used by traffic in the opposite direction completely clear.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Leaving the half of the roadway used by traffic in the opposite direction completely clear.

On a blind curve, you do not know whether anyone is coming, so you must keep the half of the roadway for oncoming traffic completely clear and stay close to the right edge, like the white car in the image. Moving toward the centerline or into the other half so you can be seen sooner puts you in the path of oncoming traffic.
