On the provincial road near Renkum, outside the built-up area, the carriageway is narrow and the verge is lower than the road surface. Your right-hand wheels briefly leave the asphalt. What is the biggest danger here?
- Mainly damage to your tyres or rims; the steering stays under control
- Little: you simply steer calmly back to the middle and then carry on
- ✓ That you quickly lose control of the steering because of the sharp asphalt edge or low verge
Correct answer: That you quickly lose control of the steering because of the sharp asphalt edge or low verge
Explanation
False — the danger is not in the tyres but in the steering. If your right-hand wheels leave the asphalt at a sharp edge or lower verge, you quickly lose control of the steering
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong — the danger is not in the tyres but in the steering. If your right-hand wheels leave the asphalt at a sharp edge or lower verge, you quickly lose control of the steering
- Wrong — the risk of the low edge is underestimated. On a narrow road outside the built-up area you quickly lose control of the steering when your right-hand wheels leave the road
