Practice question

When driving, what should you do when encountering unexpected obstacles or construction in your path?

  1. Stop
  2. Swerve
  3. Accelerate
  4. Change lanes

Answer: A — Stop

When driving, it is important to always be prepared for the unexpected. This includes encountering obstacles or construction in your path. The best thing to do in this situation is to come to a complete stop. Swerving or accelerating could be dangerous as you may not have enough time to react properly. Changing lanes could also be risky as you may not have a clear view of other cars or obstacles in the surrounding lanes. Therefore, stopping is the safest and most responsible option when encountering unexpected obstacles or construction while driving.
