Question 1291 in the bank

The ability to control the vehicle in order to prevent accidents:

  1. Improves the faster you drive.
  2. Correct answer: Is higher the slower you drive.
  3. Depends on the size of the tires.
  4. Is not dependent on speed at all.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Is higher the slower you drive.

At lower speed you have more time to notice a hazard and react, and your braking distance is shorter. Steering around an obstacle is also easier without losing grip on the road. At high speed every small mistake grows, so control gets worse, not better. Tyre size is not what decides how well you can avoid a crash.
