When does the law require a driver to “reduce the speed of a vehicle”?
- When the driver approaches speed limit.
- Before completing an overtaking maneuver in a two-way road.
- Correct answer: Reduction of speed is required when there is imminent danger to life or property.
- When the driver is tired.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Reduction of speed is required when there is imminent danger to life or property.
The law requires slowing down, and even stopping if needed, whenever danger to people or property can be expected, so there is time to react and avoid a crash. Approaching the speed limit does not require slowing as long as it is not exceeded. A tired driver should stop and rest, not just slow down. Slowing while overtaking on a two-way road only extends time in the opposing lane.
