What is the maximum speed when driving around a blind corner?

  1. Thirty-five mph

  2. Twenty-five mph

  3. Forty-five mph

  4. Five mph

The correct answer is: Twenty-five mph

Blind corners are defined as curves or turns on a road that obstruct your line of sight, making it difficult to see any oncoming traffic. The most important thing when driving around a blind corner is to have enough time to react to any hazards on the road. The optimal speed limit when approaching a blind corner is 25 mph, which gives you enough time to safely react to any unexpected obstacles. Options A and C, 35 mph and 45 mph, may seem like safe speeds but they do not allow for enough reaction time when driving around a blind corner. Option D, 5 mph, is too slow and might cause confusion to other drivers on the road. Therefore, option B, 25 mph, is the recommended maximum speed when driving around a blind corner.
