Question 536
If the shock absorbers are defective…
- Braking distance is reduced by more than 50 percent.
- Less pressure on the brake pedal is needed to brake.
- 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.
