Approaching a curve on a rural highway, the safest action is to:
- A.Accelerate into the curve
- B.Slow down before the curve and avoid braking hard while turning
- C.Brake hard in the middle of the curve
- D.Cross into the other lane to straighten the curve
Correct answer
B. Slow down before the curve and avoid braking hard while turning
Why
Slow before entering a curve so your tires keep grip while steering. Braking hard or speeding through a curve can cause a skid or a run-off-road crash.
