Question 873 in the bank

In a vehicle with a manual (regular) gearbox, it is important to adjust the gears:

  1. In old vehicles only.
  2. In order to protect the tires.
  3. In long descents.
  4. Correct answer: In order to determine the driving speed.without strain on the engine.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: In order to determine the driving speed.without strain on the engine.

In a manual gearbox, each gear suits a certain speed range. Choosing the right gear lets you drive at the desired speed without straining the engine, while keeping enough power and control. This applies to every vehicle and every road, not only to old vehicles or long descents. Gear choice is not mainly about protecting the tires.
