Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
You approach a sharp curve at a speed too high for its shape and conditions. When should you reduce speed?
A blue learner is on the straight approach to a sharp curve. Two solid yellow lines follow the road’s center. The question has no slowing location, timing card or route.
Correct answer: Before the curve, while still on the straight approach.
Why
Read the curve and slow before entering it. Choose a speed that fits the curve, surface, visibility and traffic, then steer smoothly. An advisory speed does not guarantee safety in poor conditions.
