Question 7977

Can driving at high speed be dangerous?

  1. No, because modern vehicles are designed to travel at high speeds.
  2. Yes, because it is harder to control the vehicle in a dangerous situation.
  3. Yes, but only if the road is not in good condition.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, because it is harder to control the vehicle in a dangerous situation.

Yes. At high speed, you travel more meters while reacting and while braking, and you have less room to adjust your path when faced with danger. This happens even if the road is in good condition and your car is modern.
