In which cases are you legally obliged to slow down?

- When you approach a place in which delinquent activity might take place.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: When the road is obstructed, or having poor visibility or sharp bends.
The law requires slowing down when the road is obstructed, visibility is poor or there are sharp bends, because in these conditions you may not see a hazard in time to stop safely. Speed must always suit road and visibility conditions. Slowing while overtaking actually keeps you longer in the opposing lane, and shade from trees or possible criminal activity are not legal reasons to slow down.
