Question 1286 · Truck theory test

Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
Reduce speed and try to avoid the pools of water so as not to splash the pedestrians.
Official explanation
During wet conditions, you should be aware that surface water can affect the stability of your vehicle. This is particularly so where the water lies in pools. As you drive through surface water, you should show consideration to pedestrians and cyclists and try not to splash them as you pass.
