You brake before a bend rather than in the middle of it. Why is this better?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. The tyres can use their grip for steering through the bend
- Step 1: Tyre grip is limited and must be shared between braking and turning. Step 2. Braking in a straight line before the bend leaves grip for steering. Answer: The tyres can use their grip for steering through the bend. Why not the others: Engine revs, clutch wear and brake lights are not the reason.
