  • CSí, aumenta la distancia de frenado pero no aumenta la distancia de reacción.Yes, it increases the braking distance but not the reaction distance.
Show answer

Correct answer

  • CSí, aumenta la distancia de frenado pero no aumenta la distancia de reacción.Yes, it increases the braking distance but not the reaction distance.
Explanation

Worn tyres grip less well, so they increase the braking distance. The reaction distance depends on the driver (their reaction time) and on speed, not on the condition of the tyres.
