Practice question

What should a driver do when approaching an uncontrolled intersection?

  1. Slow down and be prepared to stop
  2. Speed up to make the light
  3. Rely on other drivers to follow the rules
  4. Honk the horn to inform others of your presence

Answer: A — Slow down and be prepared to stop

When approaching an uncontrolled intersection, it is important for a driver to slow down and be prepared to stop since there are no traffic signals or signs. Speeding up to try and make the light could result in a dangerous situation or a potential collision. Relying on other drivers to follow the rules is also not a safe option as not all drivers may be following the rules of the road. Honking the horn is unnecessary and can be disruptive to other drivers. Therefore, the best course of action is to slow down and be prepared to stop at an uncontrolled intersection.
