Passing target: 80% (40/50)
You approach a curve marked with a Curve Ahead sign and a recommended speed of 30 mph. The posted speed limit is 45 mph. What should you do?
A approaches a right-hand curve on a two-way road. A neutral fact card states the 30 mph curve advisory and the 45 mph posted limit, without choosing A’s speed.
Correct answer: Slow to about 30 mph before the curve begins, then steer smoothly and stay in your lane.
Why
A speed that is safe on a straight road can be too fast for a curve, and New Jersey law expects you to reduce speed when approaching and going around one. Watch for Curve Ahead signs and recommended speeds, and finish braking before the bend so that the tires can use their grip for steering. Keep to your lane through the curve, and watch for oncoming vehicles that drift over the center line.
