Question

question 19 of 20
which of these is a consequence of speeding?

a. increased braking distance
b. avoidance of bad drivers
c. improved steering
d. less wear on tires

Explanation:

Speeding means a vehicle is moving at a higher speed. Braking distance is the distance a vehicle travels from when the brakes are applied until it stops. As speed increases, the kinetic energy increases, and more distance is needed to stop, so braking distance increases. Option B is incorrect as speeding doesn't help avoid bad drivers; in fact, it reduces reaction time. Option C is wrong because speeding doesn't improve steering; it can make steering more difficult and less controlled. Option D is incorrect as higher speed causes more friction and wear on tires, not less.

Answer:

A. Increased braking distance
