Soru

Zorluk: KolaySpeed Control and Following Distance

When driving on a road surface covered with loose gravel, a driver should increase their following distance beyond the standard three-second rule because reduced tire traction increases stopping distance.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

True
The statement is true because loose gravel reduces tire traction, which increases stopping distance and necessitates an increased following distance to maintain safety.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze how loose gravel affects tire traction
Loose gravel creates a slippery surface that reduces friction between the tires and the road surface.
Lower friction directly increases the distance required for a vehicle to brake to a complete stop.
2
Determine the necessary adjustment to following distance
The driver must increase the space cushion behind the leading vehicle to more than the standard three seconds.
An expanded space cushion gives the driver sufficient time and space to react and stop safely.
