Si la carretera tiene el asfalto muy deteriorado, ¿se verá afectada la adherencia de los neumáticos?
If the road surface is badly damaged, will tyre grip be affected?
- ASí, esto perjudicará a la adherencia de los neumáticos, y aumentará la distancia de reacción.Yes, this will reduce tyre grip and increase reaction distance.
- BSí, esto perjudicará la adherencia de los neumáticos, pero no aumentará la distancia de reacción.Yes, this will reduce tyre grip, but it will not increase reaction distance.
- CNo, el estado del asfalto no influye en la adherencia de los neumáticos.No, the condition of the road surface does not affect tyre grip.
Show answer
Correct answer
- BSí, esto perjudicará la adherencia de los neumáticos, pero no aumentará la distancia de reacción.Yes, this will reduce tyre grip, but it will not increase reaction distance.
Explanation
A damaged road surface reduces tyre grip and increases braking distance. Reaction distance depends on how long the driver takes to react and on the speed, not on the condition of the road.
