When a driver approaches a narrow bridge, he should:
- Cross the bridge as quickly as possible, to allow vehicles coming from the opposite direction to pass it without delays.
- Correct answer: Slow down while approaching and crossing the bridge.
- Stop before the bridge for safety reasons and then cross it quickly.
- Drive faster only while approaching the bridge, and drive slowly on the bridge – in order to enhance safety.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down while approaching and crossing the bridge.
A narrow bridge reduces room to manoeuvre, and sometimes there is no room for two vehicles together. So slow down already when approaching the bridge, to assess the situation and be ready to stop, and keep driving slowly on the bridge itself. Accelerating or driving fast on the bridge reduces your ability to react and increases the risk of a collision.
