How does driving at high speed affect a vehicle's road holding?

  1. The road holding ability of the vehicle is increased.
  2. The road holding ability of the vehicle is reduced.
  3. The wheel alignment keeps the tyres in full contact with the road.
  4. The suspension compensates for any unevenness in the road surface.

Correct Answer

The road holding ability of the vehicle is reduced.

Explanation: Driving at high speed is a factor that affects road holding. At higher speeds the airflow under a vehicle reduces tyre grip on the road and when you are approaching a bend or corner; the momentum of the vehicle makes it more difficult to change direction.
