Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
The car ahead stops suddenly on a wet road. Your car has anti-lock brakes (ABS), and you must stop as quickly as possible. How should you use the brake?
A neutral reference view shows the wide brake pedal and narrow accelerator with no foot on either. The card states that a car ahead stops on a wet road and this car has ABS.
Correct answer: Press the pedal firmly, keep steady pressure on it, and steer as you need to
Why
ABS keeps the wheels from locking, so you can still steer while you brake hard. Read your owner's manual to learn how your ABS works. If your vehicle has no ABS, follow the owner's manual for braking in an emergency.
