Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
A smooth surface has the lowest friction between the tyres of the car and the surface itself. The low frictional force between them reduces the contact force, allowing the car to travel a large distance. The rougher the surface, the more friction is produced. Friction makes things more difficult to move and slows a moving object. Frictional forces can aslo be helpful. For example, the tyres on this car are designed to grip the road, so the car doesn't skid.
A smooth surface possesses less friction to the motion due to fewer irregularities on the surface.
