What scenario requires you to slow down to create room in front of your vehicle?

Driving downhill
Approaching a traffic light
Driver behind you wants to pass
Entering a highway

The correct answer is: Driving downhill

When driving downhill, gravity can cause your vehicle to gain speed easily. To maintain control and safety, it is essential to slow down and create room in front of your vehicle. By reducing your speed, you are allowing for more reaction time in case of unexpected obstacles or emergencies on the road. This also helps you avoid tailgating the vehicle in front of you and reduces the risk of a rear-end collision. While it is crucial to slow down in various situations mentioned in the other options, such as when approaching a traffic light, when another driver wants to pass, or when entering a highway, the specific scenario of driving downhill poses a more immediate need to control your speed and create space in front of your vehicle.
