You leave a motorway on a slip road. Why should you check your speedometer?

  1. You may be going faster than you think
  2. Speedometers read too low on motorways
  3. Slip roads have no speed limit
  4. The slip road speed limit is always 70 mph
Show answer

Correct answer: You may be going faster than you think

After fast driving, 50 mph can feel like 30 mph. Check your speed, as some slip roads have sharp bends.
