Question 902 in the bank

On a sharp curve, slow down:

A road with a yellow line on the shoulder and a tanker ahead. At the side are two red triangles, the upper one with a black winding arrow and the lower one with a dark symbol. Below them is an orange sign with the word SLOW in English, Hebrew and Arabic.
  1. When you exit the curve.
  2. Straight after entering the curve.
  3. All along the curve.
  4. Correct answer: Before entering the curve.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Before entering the curve.

Slow down before entering the curve, while the vehicle is still travelling in a straight, stable line. Braking inside the curve can cause loss of grip, a skid or drifting out of the lane, because the tyres are already loaded with cornering forces. Inside the curve, it is best to keep a steady speed.
