Question: When driving on gravel you should:
Answer options:
- Brake hard ✅ Reduce speed and avoid sudden steering
- Accelerate
- Tailgate
Correct answer: Reduce speed and avoid sudden steering
Explanation: Gravel surfaces offer significantly less traction than paved roads, meaning drivers must reduce speed and avoid sudden steering to maintain vehicle control and prevent skidding. Braking hard on gravel easily locks the wheels, while sudden acceleration causes wheels to spin and slide. Tailgating is highly dangerous as loose surfaces increase stopping distances and tires can kick up stones that damage windshields. The underlying ICBC safety principle is that loose surfaces require slower speeds and gentle, deliberate actions. Expect questions focusing on traction management and adverse road conditions on the BC Class 7 knowledge exam.
