On a road near Wittem there is a bend with negative camber. What does that mean for your risk according to the book?
- ✓ The risk of flying off the bend is greater
- The outer bend lies higher than the inner bend, which is favourable
- It makes little practical difference to how you take the bend
Correct answer: The risk of flying off the bend is greater
Explanation
False — outer bend higher than inner bend is precisely the feature of POSITIVE camber, not negative
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong — outer bend higher than inner bend is precisely the feature of POSITIVE camber, not negative
- With negative camber the risk of flying off the bend is in fact greater
