VC-011 — Using ABS in an Emergency Stop
Question
How should you use the brake during an emergency stop in a vehicle fitted with ABS?
A. Pump the brake pedal rapidly B. Apply firm, continuous pressure and keep steering C. Use the handbrake instead
Correct answer: B
Explanation
With ABS you apply firm, continuous pressure and hold it — the system prevents wheel lock so you keep steering control. Pumping defeats ABS, and the handbrake is not for emergency stops.
