Question 671 in the bank

The danger of skidding on a wet road is greater:

  1. The deeper are the grooves in the tires.
  2. Correct answer: The more worn-out are the tires.
  3. The higher is the tire air pressure.
  4. The heavier is the vehicle.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The more worn-out are the tires.

Worn tires have shallow grooves, so they cannot channel away the water between the tire and the road. A film of water builds up, reducing grip and raising the risk of skidding and hydroplaning. Deeper grooves drain water better and keep the tire in contact with the road, so check tread depth regularly and replace worn tires in time.
