Show answer

Correct answer to question 90 (Tank Vehicles): It can combine forward and lateral forces at once, significantly increasing the risk of losing control

Why

Braking hard while turning combines the forward push of braking surge with the lateral push of turning surge, which can add up to a much greater risk of losing control than either alone.
