If you come to an unmarked intersection and visibility is limited, what should you do?

Keep driving at the same speed
Stop and move forward slowly
Immediately make a left turn
Accelerate to clear the intersection quickly

The correct answer is: Stop and move forward slowly

When approaching an unmarked intersection with limited visibility, it is crucial to stop and move forward slowly. This approach allows a driver to assess the situation more carefully, looking for any oncoming vehicles, pedestrians, or other potential hazards that may not be immediately visible. By stopping, you reduce the risk of a collision, as it provides you with a moment to judge the safety of proceeding through the intersection. Continuing to drive at the same speed or accelerating could lead to dangerous situations, especially since other vehicles or pedestrians may be present that you cannot see. Making an immediate left turn without assessing the intersection can also pose a significant risk, as you may cut off another driver or not see potential hazards approaching from other directions. Moving forward slowly after stopping allows for clearer visibility and better decision-making regarding how to safely navigate the intersection.
