Question 769 in the bank

What is the main problem a driver faces when he approaches an intersection?

View through a car windshield of a multi-lane road with white lane markings, a wide white area on the left, cars ahead, trees and street lights.
  1. Correct answer: Many tasks he needs to perform simultaneously, in a short period of time.
  2. The speed limit changes in an intersection.
  3. Part of the intersection is always designated for public transportation.
  4. The driver’s main problem is how to cross the intersection quickly.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Many tasks he needs to perform simultaneously, in a short period of time.

Near an intersection a driver must handle many tasks at once in a short time: slowing down, choosing a lane, reading signs and lights, deciding who has the right of way, and watching pedestrians and vehicles from every direction. This overload raises the chance of mistakes, so slow down and prepare early. Trying to cross quickly is not the goal and only adds danger.
