As you increase the speed of your car, the engine has to operate at higher and higher speeds in order to move the car along. If
the engine was left in a low gear, the speed could become so excessive that it might damage the engine. Which of these will prevent this from occurring? A. Shifting the vehicle into a lower gear to increase engine speed
B. Shifting the vehicle into a higher gear to increase engine speed
C. Shifting the vehicle into a higher gear to reduce engine speed
D. Shifting the vehicle into a lower gear to reduce engine speed
<span>Best answer is (C). Shifting the vehicle into a higher gear to reduce engine speed </span>
It is wise to shift the vehicle into a higher gear in order
to reduce the required speed of the engine. If you are used to driving at a
higher speed in low gear, this will cause excessive wear and tear on both the
motor and the transmission.
