Question 1

How should you handle a curve on a gravel road differently than a paved road in Saskatchewan?

Accepted Answer

Slow down more before the curve because gravel provides less traction

Answer

Gravel provides significantly less traction than pavement. Slow down before entering the curve, as braking on gravel in a curve can cause skidding and loss of control.

Question 2

What should you do if your vehicle starts to skid on a loose gravel road?

Accepted Answer

Take your foot off the gas and steer gently in the direction you want to go

Answer

If you begin to skid on gravel, ease off the gas, do not brake hard, and steer gently in the direction you want to travel. Gradual corrections help regain control.

Question 3

Why should you reduce speed significantly when a gravel road is wet in Saskatchewan?

Accepted Answer

Wet gravel becomes extremely slippery and stopping distances increase dramatically

Answer

Wet gravel is significantly more slippery than dry gravel. Stopping distances can double or more, and the risk of skidding on curves increases dramatically.

Question 4

What danger does tall crop or vegetation near a grid road intersection pose?

Accepted Answer

It blocks your view of cross traffic, making it a blind intersection

Answer

Tall crops like canola or wheat can grow right to the road edge, completely blocking your view of approaching cross traffic at grid road intersections.

Question 5

When driving on a rural road in Saskatchewan at night, what should you watch for on the road surface?

Accepted Answer

Animals, frost patches, and soft shoulders that are hard to see in darkness

Answer

At night on rural roads, animals are harder to spot, frost patches can form invisibly on the road surface, and the edges of soft gravel shoulders are difficult to distinguish.
