Your exit is coming up on the interstate, and several cars follow you. When should you start to slow down?
A approaches an interstate exit while several cars follow in its lane. No speed value or braking point is selected in the question.
Correct answer: After you move onto the exit ramp
Why
Drivers behind you watch the traffic ahead and do not expect a car to slow down in a through lane. The exit ramp gives you space to lose speed without holding anyone up. Watch for a posted ramp speed; loop ramps, such as those at cloverleaf interchanges, often need a much lower speed.
