Why is the center portion of a lane sometimes a poor choice?
- A.It is always illegal to ride there
- B.It is reserved for turning vehicles
- C.Oil and fluid drippings from cars tend to collect there, reducing traction
- D.It is farther from traffic signals
Correct answer
C. Oil and fluid drippings from cars tend to collect there, reducing traction
Why
Vehicles leak oil and fluids that collect in the center of a lane, especially near intersections where they stop. Choosing a tire-track portion often provides cleaner pavement and better traction.
