Question 7972
When driving at excessive speed...
- traffic congestion decreases.
- the stopping distance decreases.
- the likelihood of having an accident increases.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: the likelihood of having an accident increases.
At an excessive speed, you need more meters to stop, have less time to react, and have less control over the car, so an accident becomes more likely. In the image, it's snowing and there's snow on the roadway. Even though the sign allows 120 km/h, you'd be going too fast at that speed.
