Passing target: 80% (24/30)
A car stops suddenly ahead of you, and you brake hard in your car with anti-lock brakes (ABS). The brake pedal vibrates, and you hear a clicking noise. What should you do?
A broad brake pedal and narrow accelerator appear in an automatic-car footwell, with no foot shown. The card repeats the stated ABS pulsing and sudden stop ahead; no foot, pressure mark or action sequence is shown.
Correct answer: Keep pressing the pedal hard, and steer around the car ahead if you need to
Why
ABS keeps the wheels from locking, so the car can stop without a skid while you keep steering control. The system needs steady, hard pressure on the pedal to do its work. Read your vehicle owner's manual; if a car has no ABS, the owner's manual gives the correct braking method.
