Practice question
What happens to the stopping distance of a loaded commercial bus on wet, slushy, or icy asphalt compared to dry asphalt?
- Stopping distance increases significantly (can be two to four times longer or more on ice)
- Stopping distance decreases because water cools the brake friction linings
- Stopping distance remains identical because ABS maintains constant deceleration
- Stopping distance is reduced by 50% due to tyre micro-hydrodynamics
Answer: A — Stopping distance increases significantly (can be two to four times longer or more on ice)
