When a driver is approaching a high point or a place in which his field of vision is obstructed, he should:
- Continue driving in normal speed.
- Turn on the four winkers (distress lights) to warn other drivers.
- Drive faster and use the road’s “hard shoulders”.
- Correct answer: Slow down and drive at a reasonable speed, which corresponds with his field of vision.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down and drive at a reasonable speed, which corresponds with his field of vision.
Before a hilltop or a blind spot you cannot see what lies ahead, such as a stopped vehicle, a pedestrian or an overtaking car coming toward you. So you must slow down and drive at a speed that lets you stop within the distance you can actually see. Distress lights do not replace slowing down, and speeding up or using the hard shoulder only adds danger.
