Question:10

What effect does driving whilst keeping proper distance from the vehicle in front has on the vehicle’s fuel consumption and wear?

In order to keep proper distance from the vehicle in front you are required to constantly use the brakes, and therefore it causes quick brake wear.

When proper distance is kept – brake wear and engine fuel consumption are reduced,
