Which statement is true?

• A. When proceeding through an intersection without a traffic light, and the cross road is wider than the one you are driving on, you must slow down regardless of visibility.
• B. On public roads where a speed limit is not indicated on traffic signs or pavement markings, the maximum speed for vehicles and mopeds (motorized bicycles) is 50 km/h.
• C. When driving on the road where the traffic is light, you should only mind your own driving needs because other people and vehicles would not be inconvenienced by your conduct.
• D. When an emergency vehicle is approaching, vehicles must stop on site wherever they are, and give way to the emergency vehicle.

Answer: (A)

When you approach an intersection without traffic signals, priority is given to the road that is wider, which is treated as the main road. That means traffic on the narrower road must slow down and yield to vehicles on the cross street. Reducing your speed helps you observe for oncoming cars, pedestrians, or other hazards and allows you to stop if needed, even if you think you can see clearly. This is why the statement is correct: you’re expected to slow down and give way at an uncontrolled intersection when the cross road is wider, since the wider road has priority. The other ideas don’t align with typical rules: there isn’t a universal speed limit of 50 km/h on unmarked roads—speed depends on road type and local rules. Treating other drivers as irrelevant or only worrying about your own needs contradicts the safety principle of yielding to the vehicle on the main road. And for emergencies, you should yield by moving to the side and stopping to let the emergency vehicle pass rather than simply stopping wherever you happen to be.
