Ch. 6 · Hazardous Areas

When driving on rainy days, sudden start, sudden steering, and sudden braking are particularly dangerous because they can cause rollover or skidding.

[True / False · Medium]

Answer: ✓ True

Explanation

The Rules of the Road states: "Sudden acceleration, sudden steering, and sudden braking can cause rollover and skidding, and are particularly dangerous." On rainy days, road surfaces become slippery, so sudden maneuvers increase the risk of rollover and skidding.
