Question 7973
When driving at an appropriate speed, it is easier to...
- have more accidents.
- impede traffic.
- control the vehicle when faced with any obstacle or unexpected situation.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: control the vehicle when faced with any obstacle or unexpected situation.
An appropriate speed lets you keep control of the car when faced with any obstacle or unexpected situation. It stays within the speed limit and suits the road, traffic, vehicle, and you, so you can stop within the distance you can see. Since it takes traffic into account, it doesn't hold traffic up either.
