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.
