Zorluk: KolayDefensive Driving and Hazard Anticipation

When approaching the crest of a hill on a narrow two-lane road, a defensive driver should slow down and position their vehicle slightly to the right side of their lane to anticipate potential hidden hazards.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

True
The statement is true because visual obstructions such as hill crests prevent drivers from seeing downstream traffic conditions. Adjusting speed and lane position preemptively reduces collision risk.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the visual obstruction and potential hazards
The crest of a hill prevents the driver from seeing the roadway directly ahead.
Effective hazard anticipation requires recognizing locations where line-of-sight is restricted.
2
Apply appropriate defensive driving adjustments
Easing off the gas pedal increases available reaction time, and moving toward the right edge of the lane increases clearance from potential oncoming traffic.
Proactive adjustments preserve a safety buffer before a hazard becomes visible.
