Extremely hot weather can cause asphalt pavement to soften, reducing tire grip and altering vehicle handling. 2. Concrete pavements are more prone to melting and tracking under heavy vehicle tires than asphalt pavements. 3. High pavement temperatures increase the risk of tire blowouts if the tires are under-inflated. Which of the above statements is/are TRUE?
A) 1 only
B) 1 and 3 only
