While driving on a mountain road, you are approaching a sharp bend. What is the driver's duty here under the Road Traffic Act?
💡 Hint
Driving slowly means moving at a speed slow enough to stop the vehicle immediately, while a temporary stop means bringing the wheels to a complete stop (Article 2(28) and (30) of the Road Traffic Act). Check which paragraph of Article 31 covers the area near a curve in the road.
Answer: ④
Explanation
Under Article 31(1)(2), you must drive slowly near a bend in the road. Driving slowly means, under Article 2(28), proceeding at a speed low enough to stop the vehicle immediately. A bend is not a mandatory stop place, and sounding the horn does not excuse you from slowing down.
