Question 1503 in the bank

The wind resistance that a driving vehicle faces affects:

  1. The vehicle’s speed and tire wear.
  2. The wear and tear of the steering wheel system,
  3. The capacity of the vehicle’s brakes.
  4. Correct answer: The vehicle’s stability and speed.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The vehicle’s stability and speed.

Wind acts on the vehicle as an outside force. A headwind slows the vehicle and the engine must work harder to keep up speed, while a crosswind can push the vehicle out of its lane and reduce its stability, especially for tall, light or two-wheeled vehicles. In strong wind, slow down and grip the wheel firmly. Wind does not directly affect the brakes, steering parts or tire wear.
