What preventive measure should you take when driving through a construction zone to avoid windshield damage?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is to reduce speed. In construction zones, loose gravel or stones are frequently present on the road surface. Detailed Justification: Projectile Impact: By driving at a lower speed, if a stone is projected by another vehicle towards yours, the force of the impact will be considerably lower, preventing the glass from shattering or cracking. Safety Distance: Although one of the incorrect answers suggests 'reducing the distance', safety rules dictate the opposite: you must increase the safety distance from the vehicle ahead to avoid being in the path of stones thrown backward by their tires. Grip: Loose gravel reduces tire grip, so driving slowly also prevents skidding.
