Question 1693 in the bank

The ability to control a vehicle:

  1. Does not depend on driving speed.
  2. Depends on road conditions only, and not on the vehicle or the driver.
  3. Improves the faster you drive.
  4. Correct answer: Increases when driving at a suitable speed for the varying road conditions.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Increases when driving at a suitable speed for the varying road conditions.

The faster you drive, the less time you have to react, the longer the braking distance, and the easier it is to skid or lose grip. That is why control is best at a speed suited to the road, weather, traffic and vehicle condition. Control also depends on the driver and the vehicle, not only on the road surface.
