What should a driver do when the road has bumps and cracks?
- Correct answer: Slow down and adjust his drving speed to the road’s conditions.
- Drive faster and on the “hard shoulder”
- Continue driving normally.
- Drive as much as possible in the middle of the road.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down and adjust his drving speed to the road’s conditions.
Bumps and cracks can make a vehicle lose control, damage tyres and suspension, and lengthen braking distance. The safe response is to slow down and adjust speed to the road’s conditions so the hazards can be crossed safely. Driving in the middle of the road risks meeting oncoming traffic, and speeding along the hard shoulder is dangerous and not allowed.
