BDifficulty 2/5

In a car without ABS, you notice the wheels locking when braking in a curve. What should you do with the brake?

Correct answer

By reducing the pressure on the brake.

Reduce pressure just enough for the wheels to regain grip, without unnecessarily stopping braking. Locked wheels make maintaining the intended path difficult. This case concerns a vehicle without ABS: in emergency braking with ABS, maintain firm pressure on the pedal even if it vibrates; that vibration must not be mistaken for wheel lock requiring you to release pressure.
