Question 1715 in the bank

Whilst driving on a rough road, you should:

  1. Correct answer: Slow down and increase your alertness.
  2. Hold your foot on the clutch pedal continuously to ensure smooth driving.
  3. Hold your foot on the brake pedal, to be instantly prepared for any occurrence.
  4. Drive faster to avoid shakings and pits.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down and increase your alertness.

Rough roads have potholes, bumps and sudden changes in the surface, so slowing down and staying more alert keeps the vehicle under control and gives you time to react. Driving faster makes the jolts worse and raises the risk of losing control. Resting a foot constantly on the brake or clutch is wrong, as it causes unwanted braking or clutch slip and wears these parts.
