Correct answer
The front wheel may lock and cause a fall
The front wheel may lose grip or lock and cause a fall. During a turn, the tyre needs grip both to maintain the path and to brake; excessive demand can exceed the available grip. Locking is not inevitable in every case. Where fitted, ABS reduces the risk of locking by regulating braking pressure, but does not guarantee prevention of every loss of grip or fall.
