A child runs into the street ahead. You brake as hard as you can in a car with anti-lock brakes (ABS). The pedal pulses, and you hear a clicking sound. What should you do?
Correct answer: Keep firm pressure on the pedal, and steer around the child if needed
Why
ABS stops the wheels from locking, so the car can stop without a skid and still turn. If your car does not have ABS, read the owner's manual for the correct way to brake hard. To avoid a collision you can brake, steer or speed up, and a firm stop with ABS lets you brake and steer at the same time.
