You are driving a vehicle that is NOT equipped with an antilock braking system (ABS). To stop on an icy surface, what should you do?
Correct answer
- Swerve off the road.
- Pump the brakes.
- Use the parking brake.
Explanation
To stop a vehicle without ABS on a slippery surface such as ice, you should pump the brakes. Continuous hard braking might lock the drive wheels and cause a skid. If your vehicle had ABS, you could brake hard and the ABS system would automatically pump the brakes for you without locking the drive wheels.
