Show answer
Correct answer
- BCuando su radio sea pequeño.When the bend has a small radius.
Explanation
If the radius of the bend is small, the centrifugal force pushing us towards the outside of the bend will be greater, so the vehicle is more likely to leave the road on the bend. To prevent this, reduce your speed.
