In which season of the year are the conditions most difficult to drive a tram?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. Autumn.
Explanation
The question is about the season in which driving a tram is the most difficult. The conditions are most difficult in autumn - answer C.
In autumn, leaves fall onto the tram tracks, and when crushed by the wheels they form a slippery layer on the rails. The combination of leaves, frequent rain and fog means that the grip of the wheels is low and visibility is limited. Winter (answer B) can also be difficult because of snow and ice, but slipperiness is then easier to predict, while autumn leaves form an extremely slippery layer on the rails even when the temperature is above zero. Spring (answer A) usually does not cause such problems. In autumn, you use the sander more often and brake earlier.
