What should a driver do when he approaches a road section on which oil was spilled?
- Drive faster and avoid stepping on the brake pedal.
- Correct answer: Slow down as moderately as possible, and avoid heavy l braking.
- Move the wheel left and right intermittently while driving on the oil.
- Continue driving normally, because the oil helps to increase tire-road friction.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down as moderately as possible, and avoid heavy l braking.
Oil on the road greatly reduces tire-road friction, so the tires can easily lose grip and the vehicle can skid. Slow down gradually before reaching the oil, and cross it without heavy braking or sharp steering. Braking hard, speeding up or turning the wheel back and forth can all cause a skid and loss of control.
