On a level road covered with snow, which gear is advisable through a bend while maintaining an appropriate speed and vehicle control?

Correct answer

A suitable high gear allowing smooth driving and control.

Use the highest gear that permits smooth driving without labouring the engine or losing control. Adapt speed before the bend and use steering and pedals gently. Snow alone does not create a universal 40 km/h maximum. On downhill slopes a lower gear may be needed for engine braking, so the recommendation depends on the road section.
