What type of noise might fast cornering create?

  1. A.Brake squeal.
  2. B.Tyre squeal.
  3. C.Exhaust backfire.
  4. D.Engine backfire.
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B. Tyre squeal.

If you drive around a corner too fast, the tyres begin to lose contact with the surface of the road, and this causes a squealing sound. If you continue driving in this way, you can lose control of the vehicle.
