Continuous braking on a winding descent can cause:
- Correct answer: Over heating and weaker braking than normal.
- Over heating and stronger braking than normal.
- Cooling of the breaks and weak braking.
- Continuous braking has no negative affect.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Over heating and weaker braking than normal.
Long, continuous braking on a descent makes the brakes very hot from friction, and overheated brakes lose their grip, so braking becomes weaker than normal and stopping distances grow. On long downhill stretches, shift to a lower gear and let engine braking hold the speed, using the brakes only from time to time. Heat never makes braking stronger.
