Practice question

Which action is unsafe during bad weather?

  1. Slow down and maintain control.
  2. Increase following distance.
  3. Drive as usual.
  4. Use headlights.

Answer: C — Drive as usual.

Bad weather requires adjusting speed, space, and visibility. Roads can be slick, braking takes longer, and visibility is reduced. Slowing down and maintaining control helps you respond to sudden hazards. Increasing the following distance gives you more time to stop if the vehicle ahead slows or stops. Using headlights makes you more visible to others and helps you see the road better. Driving as usual ignores these risks, so it’s unsafe in rain, snow, fog, or icy conditions.
