Evaluate the following statement: Confirming safety too often is not advisable because it would lead you to drive slowly and cause traffic congestion.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Cannot be determined
• D. Depends on circumstances

Answer: (A)

Safety checks are a normal part of safe driving and help you respond to hazards without surprises. The idea that confirming safety too often would slow you down enough to cause traffic congestion isn’t accurate in practice. Performing essential checks—like scanning for hazards, using mirrors, signaling, and adjusting speed to conditions—keeps you safe and typically doesn’t create meaningful delays. Traffic congestion results from many factors such as high traffic volume and road conditions, not from a driver’s routine safety confirmations. So, the statement isn’t correct: prudent, timely safety checks support smooth and safe driving, rather than causing congestion.
