Question

question 2 of 10
which of these is a risk of speeding?
a. greater likelihood of being distracted
b. tire damage
c. mechanical failure
d. longer braking distance

Explanation:

Speeding increases the speed of a vehicle. Braking distance is the distance a vehicle travels from the moment the brakes are applied until it stops. As speed increases, the kinetic energy increases, and more distance is needed to stop the vehicle, so braking distance becomes longer. Option A: Distraction is not directly caused by speeding. Option B: Tire damage isn't a typical direct risk of speeding. Option C: Mechanical failure isn't a direct risk of speeding compared to longer braking distance.

Answer:

D. Longer braking distance
