PCV CPC Case Study 34

-->
Grace, a bus driver who often drives in both urban and rural areas, knows the importance of adapting her driving to different environments. She understands that while she cannot change the bus's weight or the road's design, she has control over her driving techniques. Grace focuses on early speed reduction before bends, controlled braking, avoiding braking while turning, and ensuring correct pedal use to prevent confusion and maintain control, especially in varied traffic conditions.

There are 7 multiple choice questions in this PCV CPC case study. Read this carefully and ensure you fully understand the scenario before starting the test. You need to score 6 out of 7 to pass.
