Correct answer

  • Only if your vehicle does NOT have anti-lock brakes (ABS).
  • Only if your vehicle has anti-lock brakes (ABS).
  • Only if there are no other vehicles on the road.

Explanation

Hard braking on a slippery road can lock the wheels and cause a skid. However, if your vehicle has anti-lock brakes (ABS), they will automatically adjust if a wheel begins to lock. If your vehicle does not have ABS, pump the brakes to avoid locking the wheels.
