BDifficulty 2/5

In a vehicle without ABS, you brake very hard on a wet road. What risk is there?

Correct answer

That the wheels lock and the vehicle skids.

Low grip can make wheel lock, skidding and loss of steering control more likely. This is not an inevitable result of every braking manoeuvre. ABS helps prevent locking but does not remove grip limits. Adapt speed and maintain enough distance before an emergency develops.
