Drivers do not need to be aware of road hazards and road conditions that may affect their vehicle.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Not sure

Answer: (B)

Being aware of road hazards and changing conditions is essential for safe driving. Noticing things like wet or icy pavement, loose gravel, potholes, construction zones, debris, fog, or glare from the sun lets you slow down, increase following distance, and adjust your lane position to maintain control and avoid crashes. The statement is false because drivers should always be alert to potential hazards; it isn’t correct to say you don’t need to be aware or that you only sometimes need to be. Continuous awareness is a fundamental part of safe driving.
