While turning, what natural force pushes the vehicle against the direction of the turn?
- Gravity.
- Correct answer: Centrifugal force.
- The force of inertia.
- None of the natural forces affect the vehicle while turning.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Centrifugal force.
When a vehicle goes through a turn, centrifugal force acts on it, pushing it toward the outside of the curve. This force grows with higher speed, a sharper turn and a heavier vehicle. If it exceeds the tyres' grip on the road, the vehicle may skid or even roll over. That is why you should slow down before entering a turn, not in the middle of it.
