Question 1466 in the bank

The higher is the vehicle’s center of gravity:

  1. The higher is the vehicle’s stability on wet roads.
  2. Correct answer: The lesser is the vehicle’s stability in turns and curves.
  3. The easier it is for the vehicle to make turns
  4. The higher is the vehicle’s stability in curves.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The lesser is the vehicle’s stability in turns and curves.

A higher center of gravity gives the sideways force in a turn more leverage to tip the vehicle outward. This is why stability in turns and curves drops and the risk of rollover grows, especially for tall or high-loaded trucks and buses. A high center of gravity does not improve grip on wet roads or make turning easier, so slow down before curves.
