When negotiating a curve with reduced visibility, what is the safest and most regulatory behavior regarding your position on the roadway?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In a curve with reduced visibility, the fundamental danger is the inability to see if a vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction. Therefore, safety rules and Traffic Regulations establish that the driver must keep as close as possible to the right edge of the roadway or their lane. This ensures the maximum amount of road is left clear for users who might be coming from the opposite direction, avoiding side or head-on collisions. Regarding the other options: It is not correct to brake throughout the entire curve; speed must be reduced before entering the curve, and once inside, you should accelerate gently to maintain traction. Keeping the clutch depressed is dangerous because the vehicle coasts (without engine braking), losing stability and grip.
