Should You Brake When Going Straight Through an Intersection?

[DiCody]

According to traffic regulations, you should slow down when approaching an intersection, so for safety reasons, you should apply the brakes to reduce speed. The situations where braking is required are as follows: Going straight through an intersection: For this scenario, not only should you brake in advance to slow down, but your speed when passing through the intersection should not exceed 30 km/h. Pedestrian crossing: Similar to passing through an intersection, brake in advance to reduce speed. If there are pedestrians crossing the crosswalk, you must come to a complete stop and yield, waiting until the pedestrians have passed before proceeding. Bus stop: Some regions may have voice prompts for this scenario during the test, while others may not. Test takers should not rely too heavily on voice prompts and should observe roadside signs in advance. When you see a bus stop, estimate whether the distance is within 30 meters, then apply the brakes to slow down. U-turn: When making a U-turn, you must slow down and shift to first gear before executing the maneuver. Aside from test requirements, attempting a U-turn at high speed or in a high gear is dangerous as it can destabilize the vehicle and even lead to a rollover.
