Question 1303 · Truck theory test
What should the driver do when there is a sharp dip in the road ahead?
Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
Reduce speed, keep to the left and be alert for hazards ahead.
Official explanation
As you approach a sharp dip in the road, you should be aware that there might be hidden dangers ahead. For example, there might be pedestrians, cyclists or other approaching traffic, or the road could be flooded in the dip. You should always read the road ahead and be prepared to react to changing traffic situations – you might need to reduce your speed and drive with extra care.
