Question 3

What is the safest way to drive through a curve on a wet road?

Accepted Answer

Slow down before the curve and maintain steady speed through it

On wet roads, you should reduce speed well before the curve and maintain a steady speed through it — braking mid-curve on wet pavement greatly increases skid risk.

When your vehicle is stopped or moving unusually slowly due to an emergency

Hazard lights are intended for emergency situations where your vehicle is stopped or moving dangerously slowly, warning other drivers of a hazard.

Question 5
