Question 6357

Heat behind the wheel...

  1. poses a clear risk to road safety.
  2. can be fought by lowering the windows, which also helps save fuel.
  3. does not pose any risk to road safety.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: poses a clear risk to road safety.

Driving in very hot conditions is a clear risk. Drowsiness and fatigue set in sooner, you take longer to react, and you may become more aggressive. Using the air conditioning between 20 and 23 degrees and taking more breaks on long trips is recommended. Lowering the windows does not save fuel because it increases the car's air resistance.
