A developing hazard ahead may require you to stop. What does the driving technique called covering the brake involve?
Correct answer: Moving your foot over the brake pedal, ready but not pressing.
Why
Anticipate a developing hazard and prepare to act. Covering the brake means taking your foot off the accelerator and positioning it ready at the brake, without pressing enough to apply the brakes. Then brake as the situation requires. This is a general vehicle-control technique; it does not mean riding the brake continuously.
