Safe DrivingQuestion 80 of 80

a.Maintain speed to keep traffic flowing
b.Assume the road ahead is clear
c.Rely on the horn instead of slowing
d.Cover the brake, reduce speed, and be ready to stop for hidden hazards
Explanation
Where visibility is limited, such as a blind intersection, hillcrest, or curve, the driver should ease off the accelerator, cover the brake, and be prepared to stop for something that may be hidden ahead. The heavy bus needs extra distance to slow. Anticipating hazards you cannot yet see is a core defensive-driving habit.
