Your tyre inflation pressure is clearly too low while you driving on public roads. What is the consequence of this?

Your answer is correct because both selected consequences highlight critical safety issues related to low tyre inflation pressure. According to German traffic regulations, proper tyre maintenance is essential for vehicle safety.

1. A considerable deterioration in the vehicle’s manoeuvrability means that the steering response will be compromised, making it harder to control the vehicle. This can increase the risk of accidents.

2. The vehicle’s stability being dangerously reduced when cornering is particularly important. Under-inflated tyres cannot maintain adequate contact with the road, leading to a higher likelihood of losing control while turning, which can be very hazardous.

Selecting both of these options emphasizes the critical nature of proper tyre maintenance for safe driving, reflecting the principles established in German traffic law. The third option regarding tyre wear is incorrect because low inflation typically leads to increased, not decreased, tyre wear, which can further compromise vehicle safety.
