When you brake a vehicle without antilock brakes on ice, snow, sleet, gravel, sand, and other loose surfaces, you should tap your brakes slightly at _________ intervals to avoid a skid.
Correct answer
- four-second
- three-second
- one-second
Explanation
On ice, snow, sleet, gravel, sand, and other loose surfaces, hard braking of a vehicle without antilock brakes can lock the drive wheels and cause a skid. Instead, tap your brakes slightly at one-second intervals. (An antilock braking system pumps the brakes for you so you can apply firm pressure to the brake pedal even on a slippery surface.)
