What may happen as a result of the brakes overheating?
Pick an answer to test yourself
The correct answer: The effectiveness of the brakes will be greatly reduced.
When the brakes overheat, their effectiveness is greatly reduced, so pressing the pedal slows the vehicle much less. This is why long descents call for a low gear. The engine and tyres are not the problem here.
