Question 6447

On what type of road sections does the greatest number of traffic accidents occur?

  1. On straight stretches with good visibility.
  2. On curves with poor visibility.
  3. On curves with good visibility.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: On straight stretches with good visibility.

Most crashes happen on straight stretches, not curves. On a straight stretch with good visibility, like the one in the image where one passenger car has rear-ended another, it is easy to become overconfident, drive faster, and pay less attention.
