Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Impaired braking and steering..
Drivers should check their vehicle's tyre pressures (including the spare) regularly at least once a week. Under-inflated tyres adversely affect many of a vehicle's systems; including braking ability; suspension; steering; fuel consumption and premature tyre wear. Tyres should always be inflated according to the vehicle manufacturers guidelines; information on which can be found in the vehicle handbook.
