Without ABS, how should you brake in an emergency when you need to retain steering control?
Correct answer: Press hard without locking the wheels; release and reapply if they lock
Why
With non-ABS brakes, apply strong pressure without locking the wheels. If the wheels lock and the vehicle skids, release briefly and reapply to regain control, looking and steering where you want to go. Learn the vehicle's correct technique in safe training conditions.
