Comparing a car with working ABS with one without ABS, in which should you maintain firm, continuous brake pressure in an emergency stop, even if the pedal vibrates?

Correct answer

In the car with working ABS.

The car with working ABS. Brake decisively and maintain pressure: vibration can be normal system operation, regulating braking to prevent lock-up. Do not pump the pedal. The DGT advises also pressing the clutch in a manual car; an automatic has no clutch pedal. Without ABS, modulate pressure if wheels lock. ABS helps preserve steering capability but does not guarantee a shorter stop in every circumstance or compensate for excessive speed.
