The correct answer: When driving on a stretch of road before which a sign warning of a dangerous descent is posted.
The speed retarder must be used when driving on a stretch of road before which a sign warns of a dangerous descent. On a long steep descent the brakes can overheat, and the retarder helps hold the speed down. Warnings about skidding or curves do not carry this duty.
