1-3. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız. Overtaking on single carriageway roads is one of the most dangerous manoeuvres drivers can perform, and is usually unnecessary. Overtaking is dangerous because it is impossible to accurately judge the speed and distance of approaching traffic. This lack of judgement can easily be fatal when travelling at speed on the wrong side of the road. If two vehicles headed towards each other are both travelling at 60mph, the gap between decreases by about 60 metres every second. It is, therefore, incredibly dangerous to overtake on rural roads, where there will rarely be enough straight, visible road ahead to be certain that nothing is coming in the opposite direction. It is also simply not worth it: if you are travelling at 55mph, and you overtake someone doing 50mph, and you have ten miles left of your journey, you’ll only arrive one minute faster than if you’d stayed behind the slower vehicle. However, in reality you wouldn’t even save this much time, as you would still need to slow down for bends, junctions, etc. Authorities advise that overtaking should be avoided unless absolutely essential, for instance to overtake an extremely slow moving vehicle on a long, open stretch, without speeding or traffic coming the other way. Otherwise just hang back, relax and enjoy the journey. What is the danger regarding overtaking on rural roads?
A)
The visibility of rural roads is usually not enough to see if another vehicle is coming in the opposite direction.
B)
Compared to urban roads, the maintenance of rural roads is performed less frequently.
C)
The traffic on rural roads is too dense, which makes it highly dangerous to overtake other vehicles.
D)
If the gap between two vehicles on opposite lanes is less than 60 metres, a fatal accident cannot be avoided.
E)
Drivers on rural roads are not aware of the possible threats while they are driving at 60mph or more.
