  • ASe reduce la distancia de frenado.The braking distance is reduced.
  • BAumenta peligrosamente la distancia de frenado.The braking distance increases dangerously.
  • CNo influye en la frenada, sólo influye en el confort.It does not affect braking, only comfort.
Show answer

Correct answer

  • BAumenta peligrosamente la distancia de frenado.The braking distance increases dangerously.
Explanation

With the shock absorbers in poor condition, grip on the road surface is reduced, because the suspension and shock absorbers keep the vehicle in contact with the road and make it stable. So the braking distance increases dangerously.
