Your car has working anti-lock brakes. During an urgent stop on a slippery winter road, how should you normally use the brake pedal?
Correct answer: Apply firm, continuous pressure and steer as needed
Why
With working ABS, apply firm, continuous pedal pressure for the urgent stop and steer toward a safe path as needed. Pulsation or operating noise can be normal. Know your vehicle’s system and follow its owner’s manual. ABS does not restore dry-road traction or guarantee a shorter stop, so reduce speed and increase space before trouble develops.
