Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: There may be an uneven surface and tyre grip may be reduced when crossing the rails..
You should be aware of the impact of changes in the road surface. For example; at railway and tram crossings the uneven surface or oil deposits could reduce the grip of your tyres. Slow down as you approach railway or tram crossings and increase your distance from the vehicle in front.
