You leave a paved road for a loose gravel road. What adjustment is safest?
Correct answer: Reduce speed and use smooth steering and braking.
Why
Slow for loose gravel and allow more room to stop. Use smooth control inputs and watch for narrow sections, hills and limited sightlines. The suitable paved-road speed may be too fast on this surface.
