Question 7028

While driving, if you encounter clouds of dust or smoke, what precautions should you take?

  1. Reduce your speed and, if necessary, stop the vehicle.
  2. None, if no vehicles are coming from the opposite direction.
  3. 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.
