Question 2 · Rural driving
When driving on a North Dakota gravel or rural road, what is a key safety practice?
- Drive faster to cross the gravel quickly
- Reduce speed because traction is lower

What should you do when following distance is hard to judge in blowing snow?
- Keep the normal 2-second gap
- Increase your following distance well beyond normal
- Follow the vehicle ahead closely for guidance
