At a blind intersection, which action is recommended to improve visibility?

• A. Move to the portion of the lane that brings you into another driver's field of vision at the earliest possible moment
• B. Stop and wait for the other vehicle to pass
• C. Speed through quickly
• D. Honk to alert drivers

Answer: (A)

When you’re approaching a blind intersection, your main goal is to be seen as early as possible by other drivers. By moving to the portion of your lane that brings you into another driver’s field of vision sooner, you maximize the time they have to notice you and respond. This reduces the chance that you’ll be surprised by a vehicle you couldn’t see until the last moment and helps you proceed with caution rather than relying on others to notice you late. Stopping and waiting can trap you in a blind spot and create new hazards, speeding through quickly leaves you with less time to react if a vehicle appears, and honking is an unreliable signal that may not be heard or understood in time.
