In the daytime you are about to enter a long tunnel. What is the most appropriate way to drive?
💡 Hint
You must turn on your lights when driving in a tunnel (Article 37(1)3 of the Road Traffic Act), and the inside of a tunnel is a no-overtaking place (Article 22(3)2). Think about how to give your eyes time to adjust when going from bright to dark, and what happens if you stop at the entrance.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Going from bright daylight into a dark tunnel, you see poorly while your eyes adjust, so slow down before entering and keep a generous gap. Under Article 37(1)3 of the Road Traffic Act lights must be on when driving in a tunnel, and under Article 22(3)2 overtaking inside a tunnel is prohibited. Stopping at the entrance creates a high risk of being hit from behind.
