Overheating can lead to a loss of friction, making it harder to stop the vehicle. Regular maintenance and avoiding excessive braking can help prevent this issue.

Driving with under-inflated tyres can affect fuel consumption. When tyres are under-inflated, they create more rolling resistance, which forces the engine to work harder, leading to higher fuel consumption.
