Question

at or near the posted speed limit.
with reduced tire air pressure.
with increased tire air pressure.

Explanation:

Analyze visibility reduction action

Reduced visibility limits the time available to identify hazards and react. The primary defensive driving action is to slow down to match the stopping distance to the visible range.

Analyze hazardous traction conditions

When traction conditions are extremely hazardous (such as severe ice or deep snow), the safest defensive driving decision is to avoid driving entirely to eliminate the risk of losing control.

Analyze wet road traction improvement

Tire traction on wet roads is optimized when tires are inflated to their recommended specifications. Under-inflation (reduced tire air pressure) reduces the effectiveness of the tread pattern in channeling water away, which increases the risk of hydroplaning. Therefore, maintaining or ensuring proper inflation (not reducing it) is key, and driving with increased tire air pressure (up to the recommended level compared to under-inflated tires) helps maintain the tread shape to cut through water.

Answer:

Question 1

• Maintain a steady speed
• Stop
• Slow down (Correct answer)
• Move closer to the windshield.

Question 2

• Drive slowly.
• Not drive at all (Correct answer)
• Drive close to other vehicles.
• Use emergency flashers.

Question 3

• Toward the right edge of the roadway.
• At or near the posted speed limit.

• With increased tire air pressure. (Correct answer)
