Question 916
If the shock absorbers are defective…
- More pressure must be applied to the brake pedal to brake.
- The braking distance is reduced by more than 50%.
- The braking distance increases dangerously.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The braking distance increases dangerously.
Worn shock absorbers make the tires maintain poorer contact with the roadway. This reduces braking effectiveness and increases the distance needed to stop.
