a.It shortens the stopping distance
b.It has no effect on a heavy tanker
c.It makes the tank lighter
d.It increases stopping distance and the risk of skidding
Explicación
Wet, icy, or slippery roads reduce traction, so it takes longer to stop and skids become more likely. A heavy, top-heavy tanker with surging liquid is even harder to control on slick surfaces. Drivers should slow down and increase following distance in poor conditions.
