Question 7028
While driving, if you encounter clouds of dust or smoke, what precautions should you take?
- Reduce your speed and, if necessary, stop the vehicle.
- None, if no vehicles are coming from the opposite direction.
- Maintain your speed and pay attention to obeying traffic signs.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Reduce your speed and, if necessary, stop the vehicle.
A cloud of dust or smoke suddenly reduces your visibility, and there may be a stopped or slower vehicle inside it. You slow down before entering and stop if necessary, whether or not there is oncoming traffic.
