How can you avoid frontal collision while driving on a narrow and winding mountain road?
- Drive close to the middle line.
- Slow down and honk continuously before every curve.
- Correct answer: Drive on the far right of the roadway, turn-on the lights, and adjust your speed to the road’s conditions.
- Drive in high gear and don’t use the brakes much, to avoid loss of braking ability.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Drive on the far right of the roadway, turn-on the lights, and adjust your speed to the road’s conditions.
On a narrow, winding road you can see only a short distance ahead, and oncoming vehicles may cut the curve. Keeping to the far right gives the most space from them, lights make you visible from farther away, and a speed suited to the conditions lets you stop within the distance you can see. Driving close to the middle line only increases the risk of a head-on crash.
