Correct answer
Yes, if the brakes are applied abruptly, the tyres may lose their grip on the road surface.
Yes. Snow reduces grip and abrupt or improper braking can cause a skid. Anticipate, reduce speed, increase distance and use smooth controls in normal conditions. Choose a gear suitable for speed and gradient, avoiding abrupt downshifts; this is not a command to always use the lowest gear downhill. For emergency braking with ABS keep firm brake pressure without pumping; ABS does not guarantee sufficient grip.
