Question 1696 in the bank

When approaching a narrow bridge, you are required to:

  1. Correct answer: Slow down while approaching and crossing the bridge.
  2. Always cross the bridge at maximum speed to clear the road for vehicles coming from the opposite direction.
  3. Always stop before the bridge, for safety reasons, and then cross it quickly.
  4. Accelerate when you approach the bridge only.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down while approaching and crossing the bridge.

A narrow bridge leaves little room to manoeuvre or to pass oncoming traffic, so you should slow down as you approach it and keep a low speed while crossing. The general rule is to adjust your speed to the road conditions wherever the road narrows or becomes hazardous. Speeding up or crossing at maximum speed increases the risk of a crash, and stopping every time is not required.
