Question 536

If the shock absorbers are defective…

  1. Braking distance is reduced by more than 50 percent.
  2. Less pressure on the brake pedal is needed to brake.
  3. Braking distance increases dangerously.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Braking distance increases dangerously.

Faulty shock absorbers reduce the tires' contact with the roadway. This reduces braking effectiveness and increases the distance needed to stop.
