BDifficulty 2/5

With the same vehicle, speed and tyres, comparing the same pavement type, which condition usually favours more effective braking?

Correct answer

Dry, clean pavement with good grip.

A dry, clean pavement with good grip, compared with the same pavement wet or contaminated. This does not mean every smooth surface has more grip than a textured one: texture and condition also matter. Brakes, tyres and other factors affect performance; it does not guarantee an identical distance or justify neglecting speed.
