Observation Speed SpaceStandalone practice
In daylight, a bend and roadside vegetation limit how far you can see the road ahead. How should that affect your speed?
Correct answer: Travel slowly enough to stop within the clear, visible road ahead
Why
Choose a speed that lets you stop within the clear, visible distance ahead. A bend or obstruction can shorten that distance even in bright daylight. Allow for the time needed to notice a hazard and react, as well as the distance needed to brake. Reduce speed as the view shortens, taking road grip and vehicle condition into account.
