Question 7707

In an overloaded vehicle...

  1. the reaction distance will be affected.
  2. stability and braking capacity are reduced.
  3. only fuel consumption increases.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: stability and braking capacity are reduced.

With excess weight, the vehicle brakes less effectively, needs more meters to stop, and is less stable. In the image, the trunk is filled to the top with suitcases. The load doesn't change your reaction distance, which depends on you and your speed.
