When ABS is not available and you need to stop quickly, which braking technique is recommended?

• A. Coasting to a stop
• B. Pumping the brakes
• C. Controlled braking method
• D. Anti-lock braking method

Answer: (C)

When ABS isn’t available, you must brake in a way that stops you quickly while keeping the ability to steer. Use a controlled braking method: apply firm, steady pressure on the brakes to achieve maximum deceleration without letting the wheels lock. If you feel or hear the wheels beginning to lock, ease off slightly to regain traction and then reapply smoothly. Coasting won’t help you stop faster, and ABS isn’t available here, so maintaining controlled, continuous braking is the most effective approach. Pumping the brakes is not as strong as keeping consistent pressure with control.
