Question 1481 in the bank

How is it possible to reduce the centrifugal force applied to the vehicle whilst driving?

  1. The effect of these force cannot be reduced – it depends on the vehicle’s size only.
  2. By driving faster.
  3. By driving lawfully and always giving right of way.
  4. Correct answer: By reducing speed.on corners and curves

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: By reducing speed.on corners and curves

Centrifugal force pushes the vehicle toward the outside of a bend. It grows quickly as speed increases and as the curve gets sharper, so it matters most on corners and curves. Speed is what the driver controls, so slowing down before and through a bend reduces this force and helps prevent skidding or rolling over. Driving faster only increases it.
