While driving a car equipped with ABS (anti-lock braking system), an obstacle suddenly appears ahead and you must brake suddenly. What is the most appropriate way to brake?
💡 Hint
ABS is a device that rapidly adjusts braking force by itself so the wheels do not lock. Watch out for statements that apply the braking technique for cars without ABS, and for those that mistake the pedal vibration felt while it works for a fault.
Answer: ②
Explanation
ABS automatically modulates braking force rapidly to keep the wheels from locking, so the driver should press the pedal hard and hold it, and can steer around the obstacle meanwhile. Pedal vibration and noise mean ABS is working normally, so do not lift your foot. Pumping the pedal is a technique for cars without ABS and may actually lengthen the braking distance in a car with ABS.
