Your car has anti-lock brakes (ABS). Traffic ahead stops suddenly, and you must stop as fast as you can. How should you brake?
A close view of an automatic car’s footwell shows a broad brake pedal on the left and a narrow accelerator on the right. The card states that A has ABS and must stop fast because traffic ahead stops suddenly.
Correct answer: Press firmly and hold steady pressure, even if the pedal pulses.
Why
Anti-lock brakes release and reapply the brakes by themselves, which keeps the wheels from locking so that you can still steer. In a car without ABS, pump the pedal instead, because a hard, steady push can lock the wheels. Check your owner's manual now so that you know which system your car has before an emergency.
