What should you be prepared to do on county highways where traffic is often slow?

On county highways where traffic tends to be slow, it is essential to be prepared to adjust your speed to match the speed of surrounding vehicles. Maintaining the flow of traffic promotes safety for all road users, as sudden changes in speed can lead to accidents. By adapting to the speed of other drivers, you help ensure smoother traffic movement and reduce the likelihood of congestion and frustration among drivers.

In these scenarios, keeping pace with other vehicles is particularly important because it minimizes the risk of collisions caused by abrupt braking or acceleration. The proper response involves being attentive to the traffic conditions around you, allowing for safe merging and passing when appropriate, and promoting a safer driving environment on these slower roadways.
