Before reaching the crest of a hill or entering a curve, you should _________ and watch for oncoming vehicles.

• A. Speed up, turn on your headlights
• B. Slow down, move to the left side of the road
• C. Slow down, move to the right side of the road
• D. Speed up, shift gears

Answer: (C)

When you’re approaching a crest or a curve where you can’t see far ahead, you should slow down and move toward the right side of the road. Slowing gives you more time to react if another vehicle appears in your lane and the right-side positioning helps keep you in your lane and away from an oncoming vehicle around the bend. Speeding up or shifting gears won’t improve visibility or safety in this situation, and moving toward the left could put you into the path of oncoming traffic.
