How does a high roof load affect the car?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. It raises the centre of gravity and reduces stability
- Step 1: A high mass sways more. Step 2. Drive more slowly with a roof load. Answer: It raises the centre of gravity and reduces stability. Why not the others: It lowers the centre of gravity and steadies the car: a roof load raises it. It improves grip in bends by pressing the tyres down: it reduces stability. It has no effect on handling at normal road speeds: it affects roll and wind sensitivity.
