Question 1484
If the shock absorbers are defective...
- It will not be necessary to press the brake pedal to brake.
- The braking distance increases dangerously.
- The braking distance is reduced by more than 50 percent.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The braking distance increases dangerously.
Faulty shock absorbers make it harder for tires to maintain good contact with the roadway. This reduces braking effectiveness and increases the distance needed to stop.
