Question 5947
If the tires are in poor condition..
- the vehicle uses less fuel.
- braking is better and the risk of an accident is avoided.
- braking is worse and the risk of an accident increases.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: braking is worse and the risk of an accident increases.
A worn, old, or improperly inflated tire has less grip on the ground. The car needs more meters to brake, can veer off course, and has a higher risk of a crash. You do not save fuel either, because low pressure increases fuel consumption.
