Practice question

When should you downshift?

  1. Before entering a tunnel
  2. Before starting downhill and before entering a curve
  3. Before changing lanes
  4. Before accelerating

Answer: A — Before entering a tunnel

You should downshift before entering a tunnel because it allows you to have better control over your vehicle's speed and maintain a safe driving condition. Downshifting helps you slow down and maintain a proper speed while navigating through the tunnel. This technique can also help in reducing the risk of overheating your brakes.
