Question 5788
On a curve, there is a greater risk of an accident when...
- the radius of the curve is large.
- it is taken at a reduced speed.
- the radius of the curve is small.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: the radius of the curve is small.
A curve with a small radius is a tight curve. The tighter it is, the more force pushes you outward at the same speed, and the sooner the tires lose their grip. A gentle curve with a large radius and a lower speed reduce that risk.
