If driving a vehicle with automatic transmission; what in particular should a driver be aware of?

- B That engine braking power is reduced.
- C That driving on a motorway is not permitted.
- D That wheel-spin occurs more often.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: That engine braking power is reduced..
When driving an automatic vehicle; it may not slow at the same rate as a vehicle with a manual gearbox when the driver releases the accelerator. Drivers should be aware of this; as they may need to apply the brake earlier in order to stop where required.
