While you are driving, you see an animal standing near the edge of the road ahead. You should: A. Slow down and be prepared to yield the right-of-way to the animal.
B. Speed up to get past the animal before it can run onto the road.
C. Start honking your horn to scare the animal away from the road.
The correct answer is A. Slow down and be prepared to yield the right-of-way to the animal.
