Show answer

Correct answer

  • ASí.Yes.
Explanation

As a general rule, driving on motorways and dual carriageways is considered safer than on conventional roads, because the carriageways for each direction are separated. This makes head-on or side collisions less likely, since vehicles travelling in opposite directions do not meet head-on.
