According to the Florida manual, at what location do crashes happen more than any other?
-
A.
Roundabouts.
-
B.
Intersections. Correct
-
C.
Highway on-ramps.
-
D.
School zones.
The answer is "Intersections."
The manual tells drivers to use extra caution when approaching an intersection because crashes happen at intersections more than any other place. School zones tempt some readers because the manual carries heavier warnings around them, but the frequency claim in the defensive-driving section is about intersections.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Roundabouts.
The manual treats roundabouts as a lower-conflict alternative to signaled intersections, not the top crash site. This answer applies a general 'circular intersection is confusing' impression instead of the manual's frequency claim.
C. Highway on-ramps.
The manual flags on-ramp merging as risky but does not name it as the top crash location. This answer carries over a rule of thumb from highway safety campaigns that emphasize merge crashes.
D. School zones.
School zones get heavier speed and distraction warnings but are not named as the top crash location. This answer reads the emphasis on school-zone caution as a claim about crash frequency there.
