Question 4524

What can increase braking distance?

  1. The vehicle having disc brakes.
  2. Snow or ice on the roadway.
  3. Only the speed at which the vehicle is traveling.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Snow or ice on the roadway.

On snow or ice, the tires have much less grip and the car needs more meters to stop. In the image, there's snow on the sides and some snow left on the asphalt. Disc brakes brake more effectively than drum brakes, and speed isn't the only thing that increases braking distance.
