A car stops suddenly ahead of you. When you brake hard, your car's anti-lock brakes (ABS) make the pedal pulse, and you hear a clicking sound. What should you do?
Correct answer: Keep pressing the pedal firmly, and steer around the car if you need to
Why
ABS pumps the brakes for you many times each second, so the driver's job is to press firmly and keep pressing. The pulsing pedal and the clicking sound tell you that the system is working. Because the wheels do not lock, you keep steering control; for a car without ABS, check the owner's manual for the correct way to brake hard.
